Additional purchase for Investis
The Investis Group has acquired Aatest AG, further expanding its real estate services business.
Lenzburg-based Aatest AG is the technological leader in asbestos analysis in German-speaking Switzerland, Investis says. Founded in 2006, the company offers accredited analysis of asbestos in building materials and technical products, as well as analysis of surface dust for asbestos, evaluation of air filter samples for inorganic fibers, and general microscopic services. In 2021, Aatest had sales of CHF 2.1 million with seven employees.
According to Walter Eberle, Head Real Estate Services at Investis, Aatest is an "optimal complement" to the subsidiary Analysis LAB, which is active in the field of building materials analysis. With the acquisition, Investis strengthens its market leadership in the detection and analysis of asbestos, especially in German-speaking Switzerland. Eberle expects further development and synergy opportunities for Aatest through the integration into the Investis Group.
Investis did not provide any information on the purchase price. (ah)
