This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone for Amtivo, affirming North America as a central market for Amtivo’s global business and a centre of excellence within the Group for certification in the automotive and aerospace sectors.
With a commitment to excellence and innovation, Amtivo Group is thrilled to welcome Michigan-based ASR into its portfolio, reinforcing Amtivo’s position as a key player in the global certification market.
