On February 13, 2024, BGE Indoor Air Quality Solutions, a prominent Canadian firm specializing in indoor air quality and air filtration, completed the acquisition of Con-TEST, a leading Canadian provider of controlled environment services. The deal marks a significant expansion of BGE's capabilities into sectors requiring pristine air conditions such as laboratories, cleanrooms, and hospital operating rooms, as well as other sterile environments.

Ian MacGillivray, President & CEO of BGE, highlighted the strategic importance of the acquisition in broadening the company’s services nationwide, particularly in a post-pandemic era where the demand for high air quality standards is rising in commercial and industrial spaces. MacGillivray emphasized the expertise of the Con-TEST team in enhancing indoor air safety and health across various sectors.

Con-TEST, renowned for its specialized technicians who test, certify, and maintain critical air quality equipment, will continue to operate under its own name as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BGE. Rene Soetens, President of Con-TEST, praised the alignment of values and cultures between the two companies and expressed confidence in BGE's stewardship of Con-TEST’s legacy.
