November 2022 signals an important milestone for Amtivo Group as it announces its second acquisition in the United States.


The owners of Advantage International Registrar, Inc. have agreed a deal which sees the business join Amtivo’s international portfolio and provide additional expertise in support of its growth ambitions in the important Americas market.

Founded in 2005, Advantage specialises in ANAB-accredited ISO and AS (Aerospace) standards from its base in Destin, Florida. Steve Barfoot, President of Advantage, commented “This deal is an important development for our clients, providing access to a wider range of services and additional resources to support their business needs. It also provides opportunities for the Advantage team to be part of a much larger organisation and expand their skills to offer a wider range of standards with a significant international presence.”

This acquisition is the fourth for the Group in 2022, three of which are outside of its UK base. Reflecting on this latest deal Amtivo Group CEO, Mike Tims, said “2022 has been a landmark year in Amtivo’s short, but exciting, history. Since 2018 we have been building a strong, tech-enabled business, while actively looking for international partners that can strengthen our portfolio, providing a wide range of certifications and complementary services. Advantage fits our criteria perfectly, offering access to an excellent team and an established US client base.”
