TRESCAL CONTINUES EXPANSION IN NEW ZEALAND WITH CPS NZ LTD AND CALIBRATION CONNECT LTD

Auckland, NZ – July, 2024

Trescal, the global leader in calibration services, proudly announces the acquisition of a 100% stake in CPS NZ Ltd and Calibration Connect Ltd (CalCon). Both companies are recognized leaders in calibration services and the sales of measurement instruments across New Zealand.

CPS NZ Ltd, founded in 1986 by Chris Woudenberg, employs approximately 20 people and performs calibrations in seven accredited domains, with particular expertise in pressure, temperature, and electrical measurements. The company’s diversified client portfolio includes over 3,300 clients, spanning the dairy, oil & gas, healthcare, aeronautical, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing industries.

CalCon, founded in 2004 and acquired by CPS NZ in 2020, specializes in electrical calibration and torque testing. Both CPS NZ and CalCon were owned by Chris Woudenberg and Kirsty Russell. The businesses’ main laboratory and headquarters are located in Auckland, with additional laboratories in New Plymouth and Christchurch.

Kirsty Russell, General Manager of CPS NZ, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition: “Joining the Trescal Group is a significant positive step for the CPS/CalCon team and our customers. Being part of a global network of calibration facilities will enhance the services we offer, broaden our knowledge base, and reduce turnaround times – a substantial benefit for our customers. Our team is excited about the future as part of Trescal.”

Shay Xie, Managing Director of Trescal ANZ, welcomed the new additions: “We are delighted to welcome the CPS/CalCon teams to the Trescal family. This investment reinforces Trescal’s commitment to expanding in the New Zealand calibration market. We look forward to utilizing CPS’s technical expertise and strong reputation to strengthen our presence in New Zealand and the Pacific, ensuring we continue to support our clients effectively, wherever they are located.”
