Intero Integrity Services acquires The Sniffers

Their experience and credentials, together with our own, will open new possibilities in providing additional services to our current and new customers.”

“Intero Integrity Services provides The Sniffers with an extensive global network and access to many new customers. Our team is pleased to join strengths with Intero Integrity Services and to continue our journey to growth.

This acquisition will accelerate our global growth opportunities” says Bart Wauterickx, CEO of The Sniffers.
