Millbrook Group has agreed to partner with CRITT M2A, a leading automotive research and test centre based in Bruay-La-Buissière, near Lille, France. Customers from both sides will benefit from access to new test services in the UK, Finland and France. This opens up a range of opportunities to simplify the procurement of services and to accelerate test programmes.

The combined offering of the two companies includes world-class expertise in driveline testing, from powertrain to batteries, and NVH test services, from full vehicle to component level.

CRITT M2A provides services to customers in Europe and Asia including turbocharger, engine, NVH and battery cell testing.

The company has a number of international partners and takes part in European research projects with research institutions, industrial clusters and renowned academics. It has just celebrated its 10^th anniversary as a private company.

Millbrook Group has a wide, international customer base served primarily from its three sites in the UK and Finland.

Jérôme Bodelle, CEO, CRITT M2A, said “We are delighted to announce this partnership, which will enable us to offer our customers access to Millbrook’s facilities and expertise in the UK and Finland.”

Alex Burns, President, Millbrook Group, said “This is an important step forward in broadening our portfolio of services. It is key to ensuring that our customers have easy access to the support they need, whatever the programme. As the industry transforms to tackle new challenges, from electrification to autonomy and intelligent mobility, we will continue to lead the way in test and validation.”

Millbrook and CRITT M2A will be giving a joint presentation on the second day of SyTec 2017 at CRITT M2A, held on 16-17 October.
