On April 30, 2026, Polaris Laboratories completed the acquisition of Oil Check Laboratory Services Limited (OCLS), marking its inaugural presence in the UK and European markets. This acquisition allows Polaris to provide local service capabilities, addressing limitations faced prior to the transaction due to the lack of laboratory infrastructure in Europe.
OCLS serves various sectors, including power generation and data centers, which align with Polaris's strategic growth areas. Following the acquisition, Polaris expands its global laboratory network to eight sites and plans to maintain existing customer relationships and service levels.
The deal price remains undisclosed, consistent with small UK private company transactions. Future investments in OCLS’s capabilities are anticipated as Polaris continues its European expansion strategy initiated after its acquisition by Riverspan Partners in 2024.
