Acquiring METCO was an important next step for Alliance, who is actively investing in growth to build a national, best-in-class stack testing platform. METCO significantly bolsters Alliance’s growing presence across the Gulf Coast and Nationally when responding to complex, challenging source testing projects. In addition, the partnership increases the services that Alliance Source Testing is able to provide to customers, such as increased on-site analytical capabilities and experience with large-scale, complex testing campaigns.
Together, Alliance and METCO have a strong national footprint of 13 offices located in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Utah with attractive geographic density in the key Gulf Coast region and the technical expertise to serve a diverse range of end markets.
