We are delighted to announce that Testall, a leading provider of materials testing and geotechnical services based in Ireland, has joined Simtec. This marks another significant milestone in Simtec's expansion journey and strengthens our position as a leading testing business across the UK and Ireland.

The addition of Testall builds on a year of strong growth for Simtec, following the opening of new locations in London and East Anglia and the successful integration of CTS Ltd in Northern Ireland. Together, these developments further enhance Simtec's geographic reach, service offering, and ability to deliver consistent, high-quality results across all regions.
