Intertek Group Plc (ITRK) is a British multinational assurance, inspection, product testing, and certification company, listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.
The company was founded in 1885 and is based in London, England. Intertek traces its origins from a marine surveying business formed by Caleb Brett in the 1890s, a testing laboratory formed by Milton Hersey in Montreal in 1888, and a lamp testing centre established by Thomas Edison in 1896.
These businesses were all acquired by Inchcape plc during the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1996, Inchcape Testing Services was acquired by Charterhouse Capital Partners and was renamed Intertek. The company provides quality and safety assurance to industries such as construction, healthcare, food, and transport.
