The GBA Group now includes IVARIO, the operator of an online platform for testing drinking water for end users (www.wassertest-online.de), as a member of its corporate family. With this acquisition, customers will benefit more directly from the expertise of the GBA laboratories going forward. In addition, the foundation has been laid for the further joint development of additional online testing services for private households in Germany and western Europe. The three IVARIO founders will remain on board: while Söhnke Mücke sets the course as Chief Executive, Saskia Gerber and Sascha Zielinski will assist GBA as advisers.
