Igne, a leading provider of testing, inspection, and compliance services, has officially opened its new laboratory in Bellshill, Scotland.
The state-of-the-art facility, which is the largest construction materials testing lab in Scotland, is part of Igne's strategic expansion plan. The company is also set to open a new laboratory in Daventry, England, in early 2025.
The Bellshill lab offers a range of testing services, including concrete compliance and thermal resistivity. It is equipped with advanced technology, including SpectraQEST LIMS for concrete testing. Additionally, the lab has two mobile laboratories for on-site testing.
Igne's expansion is driven by increasing demand for its services and a focus on providing innovative solutions to its clients. The company is committed to investing in its people and technology to maintain its position as a leader in the industry.
"The opening of our Bellshill laboratory is a proud moment for Igne," said CEO Rob Hunter. "This facility is a testament to our commitment to delivering the highest standards in construction materials testing and to supporting our clients with data-driven insights to achieve their project goals."
