SGS takes over US testing laboratory
The Geneva-based SGS inspection and testing company has announced the acquisition of the United States Environmental Testing Corporation (ETC).

The acquisition of ETC, the latest in a series of SGS takeovers this year, marks an extension of the services already provided by SGS Automotive Services, a statement said.
