Bureau Veritas of New York, NY, has announced the acquisition of Orion Assessment Services International Inc.’s Canadian food auditing business based in Toronto. Orion provides food certification services to food manufacturers across Canada.
The strategic business acquisition gives Orion’s food safety customers access to the broader suite of Bureau Veritas GFSI accredited and unaccredited services while ensuring the continued high quality standard of food auditing service they have come to expect from Orion.
For Bureau Veritas, the Orion food safety business serves as a platform to expand its food certification presence in Canada and complements Bureau Veritas’ U.S. position in food auditing to provide a complete solution for North American food manufacturers, the company says. The geographic expansion of its food certification business in Canada also enhances Bureau Veritas’ food laboratory testing capabilities in the country.
Bureau Veritas is a global provider in testing, inspection and certification. Created in 1828, the group has more than 75,000 employees located in more than 1,500 offices and laboratories around the globe.
