Why can Intertek provide a lower total cost for testing services?
In most cases, Intertek operates independent laboratories that can accept work from a wide range of customers. This means the lab utilization rate is much higher thanfor a captive in-house laboratory, driving testing efficiency up and the cost-per-test down. Capital investment in modern analytical instrumentation by Intertek translates into a lower per-test cost. We can use the same instrument for multiple clients, increasing efficiency.
