Apave Group, an international inspection group with over 150 years of experience, completed the acquisition of the technical inspection service line of ABS, a global risk management company. Financial terms were not closed. “This transaction better positions ABS Consulting to focus on its strategic objectives to deliver world class technical risk solutions to support the overall ABS strategy.
