SGS has announced the acquisition of Trident, a leading USA-based provider of specialist inspection, maintenance, and engineering services for critical industrial equipment.

The acquisition strengthens SGS’s presence in the industrial services sector, particularly within the growing power utility and nuclear industries. Trident is recognised as a one-stop-shop solutions provider, delivering a comprehensive range of technical services designed to support the performance, safety, and reliability of critical infrastructure.

Through this strategic acquisition, SGS aims to expand its technical capabilities and enhance its service offering to clients operating in highly regulated and mission-critical sectors. Trident’s expertise in inspection, maintenance, and engineering complements SGS’s global portfolio and reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality industrial solutions.

The transaction is expected to create new growth opportunities for both organisations while providing customers with broader access to specialised services, technical expertise, and innovative solutions across the USA market.

SGS continues to pursue strategic investments that strengthen its position as a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification services.
