ATLANTA, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As a growth-driven leader for inspections and certifications in over seventeen industries, Industrial Inspection & Analysis® (IIA) is pleased to announce the acquisition of Tribologik® Laboratories and Predictive Maintenance Corporation (PMC).
Founded in 1984, Marvin Ostin successfully established Tribologik and PMC to provide ASTM compliant lubricant, fuel, coolant and grease testing to monitor the condition of industrial, mining and transport equipment in North, Central and South America. With lab locations in the Greater Chicago and Montreal Metropolitan areas, Tribologik possesses ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation for fluids that keep valuable assets reliably operating with the lowest cost of ownership. Tribologik and PMC will become part of IIA's Lab Services division effective November 5, 2024 and operate as IIA Tribologik.
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, IIA has an extensive footprint across North America and an ever-expanding presence in the industrial sector. With the addition of Tribologik, IIA has 18 locations, including 11 laboratories, across North America.
"This acquisition allows IIA to offer an entirely new service line in critical fluids analysis and expand its geographic reach," says Christopher Niebuhr, IIA's Chief Executive Officer. "The lubricant and fuel analysis capability that Tribologik brings to our portfolio goes beyond simply providing our lift vehicle fleet customers with money saving reduced maintenance costs. We see tremendous opportunity to service our Facility customers with rapid analysis of their rotating equipment fluids as well."
"Tribologik is among the best in the business," Niebuhr continued "and we are excited to welcome the Tribologik team to IIA. We look forward to growing together and leveraging our combined strengths and capabilities."
"For the past 40 years, the team at Tribologik has helped customers enhance productivity and safety, and minimize pollutant emissions into the environment. I am proud of the work we have done and excited about our future with IIA," says Nicholas Reich, Vice President Tribologik "As part of the IIA family, we will be able to provide our customers access to additional laboratory and inspection services that compliment what we do, while continuing to provide the world-class services we are known for."
