The company achieves this through field inspections, laboratory testing, and certification processes conducted by experts, with a global network that supports projects from design through operation. Compared with competitors, SOCOTEC differentiates itself through a long history of sector specialization, a proven track record of strategic acquisitions that expanded its geographic reach (France, Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and its scale (revenue over €1.6 billion after recent acquisitions like Ninyo & Moore), and a focus on integrating services to cover the full TIC value chain. Its goal is to be a leading, globally trusted TIC partner for risk management, compliance, and performance improvement in the built environment.
