Warringtonfire Australia Joins Jensen Hughes

December 7, 2023

Today Jensen Hughes, the global leader in engineering, consulting and technology that make the

world safe, secure and resilient, announced it has acquired Warringtonfire Australia, a leading fire

testing and fire safety engineering consulting firm in Australia, from Element Materials Technology.

Following the previous acquisitions of BCA Logic and MGAC, this strategic acquisition expands the

rapidly growing global enterprise's presence in Australia and helps position the company

exceptionally well for future expansion across Australia and New Zealand, as well as regionally.

This carve out from the international operations of Element is specific to the Australian business,

which was established following the purchase of the Fire Testing Laboratory business from Exova

and the acquisition of Defire's Fire Safety Engineering operation in 2017. Jason Jeffress is the

Divisional Director and leads a strong management team. They bring a group of 85 employees with

five consulting locations and a Fire Testing Laboratory in Victoria into the Jensen Hughes global

organization.

"This new partnership increases opportunities in Australia to provide a range of services through one

world-class fire safety engineering-focused organization," Jason Jeffress says. "Every one of our

employees – 100% – are joining the new partnership. It's an exciting time for our clients as we will be

able to leverage Jensen Hughes's industry-leading fire safety experts as well their offices and people

across Australia and New Zealand," he says, "this will provide us many more opportunities to

advance our client service."

"This is a win-win for Jensen Hughes and for our new colleagues coming from Warringtonfire

Australia," says Raj Arora, CEO of Jensen Hughes. "Fire safety engineering is integral to our core

service mix," he says. "This acquisition significantly enhances our capability in this area and brings a

NATA and ISO- accredited Fire Testing Laboratory into our operations. On behalf of our worldwide

team, I'm delighted to welcome our new Warringtonfire Australia colleagues to Jensen Hughes and

our growing global family!"
