About UTAC Ceram

UTAC Ceram, established in 1945, has been a cornerstone in the automotive industry, specializing in vehicle testing, type approval, and the development of emerging technologies. Based in Montlhéry, France, the company has played a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and compliance of vehicles across Europe and beyond.

Originally founded to support the burgeoning automotive sector post-World War II, UTAC Ceram has evolved alongside the industry, adapting to technological advancements and regulatory changes. The company has expanded its services to include testing for autonomous, connected, and electric vehicles, reflecting the industry's shift towards more sustainable and innovative transportation solutions.

A significant milestone in UTAC Ceram's journey was its acquisition of the British group Millbrook in 2021. This strategic move not only expanded UTAC Ceram's footprint in the UK but also enhanced its capabilities in vehicle testing and certification, making it one of the largest engineering groups in the field.

In 2020, UTAC Ceram itself became the subject of acquisition when Eurazeo, through its Eurazeo PME subsidiary, took a majority stake in the company. This acquisition was part of a broader strategy to accelerate UTAC Ceram's growth and expand its presence in international markets, particularly in China.

Today, UTAC Ceram stands as a leader in the automotive testing industry, committed to driving innovation and ensuring the highest standards of safety and performance in the vehicles of tomorrow.
