Lemaro and SGI COMPLIANCE join forces
Strategic Acquisition Enhances CERTANIA’s Environmental Inspection Capabilities, Doubling Lemaro’s Market Reach and Meeting Growing Demand for Fire Safety Compliance
In a strategic move aimed at enhancing growth and expanding service offerings, Lemaro, an independent provider of fire safety inspections, has joined forces with CERTANIA's SGI Compliance group.
Founded in 2015 by Mladen Bijekic and headquartered in Spijkenisse, Netherlands, Lemaro specializes in the design review, pre-commissioning, and in-service inspections of fire alarm and evacuation alarm systems in non-residential buildings. Lemaro’s clientele spans across various sectors, including retail, industrial, education, healthcare, and government, ensuring compliance with current regulations and generating recurring revenues.
This partnership represents a significant milestone for both Lemaro and SGI Compliance. With Lemaro’s strong expertise in fire safety inspections, this collaboration offers great synergy and is poised to meet the growing European demand for fire inspection services. The integration with SGI Compliance will enable Lemaro to expand its addressable market, with potential plans to venture into fire sprinkler inspections, effectively doubling its market reach.
Mladen Bijekic, CEO & Founder of Lemaro, remarked, "Joining the SGI Compliance group provides us with an excellent opportunity to leverage their extensive resources and expand our service offerings. We are excited about the strategic alignment and the potential to better serve our clients."
Sytze Voulon, CEO of SGI Compliance Group, highlighted the strategic importance of this acquisition, stating, "By incorporating Lemaro’s specialized fire safety inspection services, we will enhance our ability to offer comprehensive environmental inspections across Europe. This move is perfectly aligned with our mission to provide a wide spectrum of support services under the CERTANIA umbrella."
