With this acquisition, Bureau Veritas diversifies its service offering and customer base in the Brazilian construction, infrastructure and power sectors and strengthens its global leadership in construction verification and control. Didier Michaud-Daniel, CEO of Bureau Veritas, said: “Bureau Veritas is already a leading provider of industrial services in Brazil, principally in the oil & gas sector. This acquisition will enable us to diversify our offering to take advantage of the opportunities that rapid urbanisation will bring in a country that is investing significantly in the development and renovation of its transport and energy infrastructures.” José Carlos Teani, Managing Director of Sistema PRI, added: “Joining forces with Bureau Veritas is an excellent step for our company. We will leverage Bureau Veritas’ network to roll out our activities in Brazil, in other Latin American countries and in new market segments such as oil and gas.”
