On April 28, 2011, Moody International has been acquired by Intertek
History
Established in 1911, it initially focused on construction and electrical engineering projects. In the 1920s, with the development of the oil and gas industry, the company grew and became involved in inspection and other technical services. The first international office was opened in Japan in 1948 and expansion into Europe followed in the 1960s.
The company continued to grow throughout the 90's and up until 2011 by organic growth and through acquisition. It featured in the Sunday Times Deloitte Buyout Track 100 league table of the UK’s 100 private equity-backed mid-market companies with the fastest growing profits over 2 years in 2008 and in 2007. At the time of the Intertek acquisition it had grown with 80 offices in over 60 countries, and was one of the world's largest multi-national technical service organisations.
Moody International Celebrates Milestone Anniversary

During the 1920s the rapid development of the oil and gas industry in the USA created a large new client base for Moody's services.

From the 1960s, through the new millennium, further growth of Moody International has extended into all major regions including AsiaPacific, the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Today, the USD $500M Moody International Group boasts a presence of 80+ offices in more than 60 countries.
