MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Mar 15, 2016 - (ACN Newswire) - Averna, an industry-leading developer of test solutions and services for communications and electronics device-makers worldwide, announced today that it has acquired 100 percent of Europe-based Test & Measurement Solutions for an undisclosed amount.

Averna's main shareholders, Tandem Expansion and Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec (CDPQ), both participated in the financing of this acquisition. For CDPQ, this investment is consistent with its objective to further the international expansion of high-performing Quebec companies.

In addition, T&M Solutions brings unique expertise in semiconductor testing, vision inspection systems and precision assembly to complement Averna's existing solutions and industry strengths.

T&M Solutions' management, including current owners Roel Geraerts and Kurt Hensen, will continue to play key roles in operations and expansion plans for the European market.

"This major expansion into Europe signals Averna's strategic positioning to accelerate growth and become a truly global Test Engineering powerhouse. Test & Measurement Solutions and Averna share complementary solution portfolios, clients and partners, so this is a real win-win arrangement for everyone," said Francois Rainville, Vice-President of Sales & Marketing for Averna.
