We are evaluating an acquisition opportunity in the biodegradability and compostability testing space within the broader TICC sector. If anyone here has experience acquiring or underwriting growth opportunities for testing labs, particularly around evaluating new testing markets, understanding regulatory drivers, or scaling lab operations, I’d love to connect and learn from your perspective. Thanks in advance!

Hi Connor, very interesting space. I operate a compliance testing equipment manufacturing platform supporting accredited laboratories across flammability, ingress protection (IP), electrical safety, impact/endurance, and climatic testing. In regulated environments, lab growth tends to be closely tied to evolving IEC/UL/NEMA standards and ISO###-###-#### accreditation requirements. Equipment infrastructure and deployment timelines often become key scaling variables. Happy to connect and share perspective if helpful.

^redacted‌ We acquired a lab software business a few years ago. No specific insights on a TICC thesis but have quite a bit of insight into lab operations. Shoot me a message if you’d like to chat.
