Bureau Veritas Acquires The APP Group in Strategic Infrastructure Project

Bureau Veritas, a global leader in Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) services, has announced the acquisition of The APP Group, a leading provider of assurance, compliance, and project management services in Australia. This strategic move will bolster Bureau Veritas’ position in the Asia-Pacific region and enhance its capabilities in the infrastructure and building sectors.

The APP Group brings a wealth of experience and a strong track record in delivering high-quality services to clients across Australia. By combining the expertise of both companies, Bureau Veritas will be able to offer a comprehensive suite of services, including asset management, construction supervision, and independent verification and certification.

This acquisition aligns with Bureau Veritas’ LEAP | 28 strategy, which aims to expand the company’s leadership in the Buildings and Infrastructure sector. By diversifying its portfolio and investing in attractive regional markets, Bureau Veritas is well-positioned to capitalize on future growth opportunities.

Hinda Gharbi, Chief Executive Officer of Bureau Veritas, commented: “When closed, The APP Group acquisition will mark a significant milestone in our LEAP | 28 growth strategy for the Buildings & Infrastructure business in Asia Pacific. This move will not only strengthen our position in the Australian market but will also provide us with a robust platform to expand our B&I services across the region. The APP Group’s recognized expertise and reputation will perfectly complement our existing capabilities, allowing us to offer more comprehensive solutions to our clients.”

Adam Castro – CEO, The APP Group, added: “The APP Group is an Australian Property and Infrastructure leader and joining forces with a world leader in Bureau Veritas allows for continued growth, whilst leveraging a global network of services, systems and resource capability to support our clients and new market opportunities. This strategic union will not only enhance our service delivery offering and experience to our clients, but also consolidate our position as a partner of choice. We look forward to being part of the Bureau Veritas Group and unlocking new opportunities for our people, clients, partners and the broader communities in which we operate.”
