12/08/2009
Bodycote Testing Group, the worldwide testing and advisory business, has been renamed Exova. The creation of a new name and identity which reflect the company's new direction, vision and values has been prompted by the sale of the business by Bodycote plc last year.Bodycote Testing Group, which employs over 4000 and has over 130 facilities in 25 countries, was acquired by the global private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier and Rice (CD&R) in October 2008.
The transition to the Exova brand will take place over the next few months, to be completed by October 2009.
Grant Rumbles, Chief Executive Officer of Bodycote Testing Group (now Exova), told NDT News: "This is an exciting time for Bodycote Testing Group as it transforms into Exova. Our new brand is fresh, crisp and progressive and is effective across the diverse sectors and many countries in which we work. We are delighted with the creative results that underline our expertise and innovation.
"We are looking forward to supporting our customers and adding value to their business through delivering our promise for exceptional service and, where possible, exceeding expectations. We are excited about building a great brand on strong foundations.
"Bodycote Testing, now Exova, suppliers or customers can be assured that the people they have worked with previously will remain the same but we ask them to update their records to ensure continuity of service. There is no change to the terms and conditions of business and our accreditation, registration and VAT numbers will remain the same," concluded Rumbles.
