Global expansion Millbrook and UTAC CERAM are expanding testing capabilities globally, with new proving grounds and facilities in China and Finland, signaling increasing demand for independent vehicle testing, homologation, and emerging technologies across regions—a pathway for selling additional testing services, accreditation support, and cross-border validation contracts.

Autonomous and EV focus The merged group emphasizes autonomous, connected, and electric vehicle testing and emerging technologies, presenting opportunities to upsell advanced validation services, battery safety testing, cyber risk assessment collaborations, and software-enabled testing solutions to OEMs accelerating EV and AV programs.

Diversified client base With activities spanning automotive, transport, tyre, petrochemical, and defense sectors, there is potential to target tiered OEMs, suppliers, and defense contractors requiring impartial, accredited testing and homologation, including tyre and component testing as adjacent services.

Strategic partnerships Recent partnerships and government collaborations (e.g., Huainan) indicate a favorable environment for joint ventures and regional testing centers, offering sales opportunities around facility access, local compliance support, and co-branded testing programs for regional manufacturers.

Technologies and efficiency Existing tech stack (Simulink, CATIA, data and process automation) and modern tracks enable efficiency and digitalization plays; there is room to sell integrated testing workflows, simulation-to-testing handoffs, data analytics, and cloud-enabled validation services to shorten homologation timelines for customers.
