TIC Industry Segments We Target

Aurora TIC focuses on independent testing laboratories serving high-growth, regulation-driven industries with recurring testing demand.

Food & Beverage

Acquisition Fit: High

Food safety testing is a large, stable TIC segment with recurring revenue from food manufacturers, retailers, and regulatory compliance programs. FSMA compliance has increased demand for third-party testing.

Key Drivers

Environmental Testing

Acquisition Fit: Medium

Environmental testing labs serve municipalities, industrial clients, and environmental consultants. Strong recurring revenue, regulated testing requirements, and high switching costs make these attractive consolidation targets.
