Guillem Baraut, CEO of SOCOTEC, stressed that with this acquisition, "we raise awareness of Safety Culture in the DNA of construction, setting work trends and providing technical values, quality plus and social growth.

For her part, Teresa Cano, manager of e-Scentia, explains that "despite having carried out some projects outside our comfort zone, such as in the Balearic Islands or Madrid, we lacked the capacity to continue expanding. This integration with SOCOTEC will allow us to diversify and continue to grow organically and sustainably, responsibly, but already outside our comfort limits." 

 

Now, too, leaders in construction safety 

This acquisition consolidates SOCOTEC's position as a leading engineering company in the Spanish market. The integration of e-Scentia will enable SOCOTEC to offer a wider range of services to its customers and contribute to the creation of a stronger safety culture in the construction sector.
