GLI Group Buys Out Remaining Shares in iTech Labs

Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) Group has completed a transaction for the remainder of shares in iTech Global, a gaming testing laboratory that will now significantly strengthen the company’s reach and expertise in the provision of sophisticated certification services for the sector.

iTech to Continue Operating Under Its Own Brand

Neither party has shared information about the size of the deal, but iTech Labs will now operate as a fully-owned subsidiary of GLI. No immediate change in the structure or operations of the company is anticipated either.

iTech Labs will continue to run its business independently but coordinate with GLI’s back-office staff as the companies seek to achieve more clients and deliver stronger commercial results. The acquisition also benefits customers who will be able to gain an advantage owing to GLI’s strong rapport with global regulators in jurisdictions around the world, ensuring that licensure procedures and processes go smoothly.

GLI president James Maida was excited to see this partnership take shape and said that the entire company was pleased to see iTech Labs continue to operate under its own unique brand name:

We are pleased that the entire management, testing and sales teams will continue to operate and be licensed in the jurisdictions they serve.

The GLI Group shares our values and deep commitment to providing our customers best-in-class service and are exceedingly pleased with this investment.
