At Phenna Group, we're proud of our specialist businesses that share a common goal. To deliver assurance through excellence in Testing, Inspection, Certification, and Compliance (TICC).
Across the Americas, demand for trusted, high-quality services in these sectors continues to expand, driven by investments in infrastructure, technological advancements, and an increasing focus on safety, sustainability, and quality. This is an exciting time for ambitious business leaders who want to take their companies to the next level, and Phenna Group is the ideal partner to help make that happen.
Empowering Entrepreneurs, Preserving Identity
One of the things that makes Phenna Group unique is our partnership model. When a business joins Phenna, it retains its identity, leadership, and entrepreneurial spirit. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all integration. Instead, we offer support, investment, and collaboration that allows each company to grow while maintaining the culture and client relationships that made it successful in the first place.
Our philosophy is simple. Strong businesses, empowered people, better outcomes.
Eric D'Orio: “Having spent many years working with specialist TICC businesses across the Americas, I’ve seen how this region thrives on innovation and independence. There’s a strong entrepreneurial culture here, and that’s something we value deeply at Phenna Group. It’s also why my family entrusted a 100-year-plus legacy business to Phenna, and we’ve never looked back.”
Strategic Support for Sustainable Growth
Joining Phenna Group means gaining access to a powerful global network of expertise, resources, and relationships while remaining focused on your local markets and customers. Our companies benefit from shared investments in technology, infrastructure, and leadership development, along with the stability and credibility that come from being part of a group with a proven track record of growth and success.
From M&A and capital investment to operational excellence and digital transformation, our team works closely with each business to identify opportunities for scale and innovation.
Expanding Our Footprint Across the Americas
Our Americas region is already home to a diverse portfolio of leading businesses across Infrastructure, Industrials, Certification & Compliance, and Food & Life Sciences. In fact, our journey in the Americas began with Hansen Aerospace, based in Massachusetts, one of Phenna Group’s three foundation businesses and part of the initial acquisitions that formed the nucleus of our Group. Hansen set the tone for our culture of partnership and growth, laying the groundwork for everything that followed.
Since joining Phenna, Hansen’s growth has accelerated through the strategic acquisition of TDF, as well as targeted investment in state-of-the-art equipment and infrastructure. This partnership demonstrates how our model empowers local leaders to build on their legacy while scaling for the future.
That same spirit of growth and collaboration was also evident when ATL joined the Phenna family, followed almost immediately by the addition of Briggs, strengthening our capabilities and market reach in key sectors. Each of these partnerships reflects Phenna’s commitment to backing great businesses with the resources and autonomy to thrive.
With a dedicated regional structure and leadership team, we’re positioned to continue expanding in North and South America, partnering with exceptional companies that share our commitment to quality and integrity.
A Partnership Built on Trust and Alignment
When we meet with potential partners, one question always comes first: "Are we aligned in values, vision and culture?"
That alignment is the foundation of every successful partnership we've built.
We're not looking to change what makes a business special; we're looking to help it thrive. For owners considering what's next for their company, whether that's growth, investment, succession planning, or unlocking new markets, joining Phenna Group can offer the best of both worlds: independence with the backing of a global powerhouse.
Jon Harrison: "Every company that joins Phenna Group brings something unique: expertise, reputation, relationships. What we bring in return is strategic support, investment, and a global platform that helps them unlock their full potential."
