Intertek’s electrical division, Intertek ETL, is acquiring Colombian electrical testing and certification specialist QTEST to deepen its presence in Colombia and bolster its scale across Latin America. QTEST, founded in 2006 in Medellín and serving manufacturers, importers and distributors, generated £2.0 million of revenue in 2025 and will add highly specialised local capabilities to Intertek ETL’s global network.

The deal is expected to expand Intertek ETL’s ATIC offering, particularly in medium and high voltage segments, and give QTEST’s clients access to broader Total Quality Assurance services, including global market access, system inspection and North American testing. By combining QTEST’s proximity to local customers with Intertek’s international labs and expertise, the acquisition aims to accelerate growth in a high‑growth economy and reinforce Intertek’s leadership in electrical product testing across Latin America.

Spark’s Take on GB:ITRK Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:ITRK is a Outperform.

Intertek’s strong financial performance and strategic corporate actions, including a substantial share buyback and strategic acquisitions, are key strengths. However, technical analysis indicates bearish momentum, which could pose short-term risks. The valuation is fair, offering a reasonable dividend yield.
