Millbrook on 3 April acquired Revolutionary Engineering, a test service and equipment provider headquartered in the US, with presence in China and Germany.
Revolutionary Engineering specialises in driveline system and component test services and solutions to customers in the automotive, transport and petrochemical industries. This latest acquisition is an important step in Millbrook's strategy to expand its capacity and capabilities in propulsion testing, including the testing of batteries, inverters and e-motors.

Allen White will continue to head the company, backed by the Millbrook management team.
A number of Millbrook Revolutionary Engineering's customers are already customers of Millbrook – which started as the Vauxhall Proving Ground – and will be able to procure a broader range of test services and test facilities through a single contract. Millbrook will also be able to support customers when they decide to test in-house, as well as when they outsource testing.
White said: "We are delighted to be joining Millbrook and Spectris. There are many areas of overlap between Revolutionary Engineering and Millbrook and we also expect to benefit from Spectris' scale and reach. We can see only positives for our customers, employees and suppliers from this deal as they look to grow the business."
Alex Burns, president of Millbrook said: "This latest acquisition perfectly complements our existing test capabilities. We have a strong track record of growing similar test service businesses, and we understand very well the equipment side of Revolutionary Engineering's offering. We are committed to delivering the highest levels of customer service and technical expertise across all sites, and very much look forward to working with our new colleagues in the US, China and Germany to continue to achieve our aims."
