New Services
Our Growing Presence in Australia
Jensen Hughes has acquired Warringtonfire Australia*, a leading fire testing and fire safety engineering consulting firm in Australia, from Element Materials Technology. Following the previous acquisitions of BCA Logic and MGAC, this strategic acquisition expands the rapidly growing global enterprise’s presence in Australia and helps position the company exceptionally well for future expansion across Australia and New Zealand, as well as regionally. This carve out from the international operations of Element is specific to the Australian business which was established following the purchase of the Fire Testing Laboratory business from Exova and the acquisition of Defire’s Fire Safety Engineering operation in 2017. They bring a group of 85 employees with 5 consulting locations and a Fire Testing Laboratory in Victoria into the Jensen Hughes global organization.
