Italian firm 2139 Controls is expanding its operations with the acquisition of Australian firm 3912 IPC Global. The Australian firm offers advanced material testing technologies for asphalt, soil and unbound materials and this deal will both strengthen the international profile of Controls by adding the Australian facilities but will also further develop its portfolio of solutions.
