Vidaris Announces Rebranding, Affirms Commitment to Clients as a SOCOTEC Company

New Brand Reflects the Company's Mission to Offer Innovative Solutions and Unparalleled Client Service Across Closely Integrated Services; Solidifying Market-Leading Position


NEW YORK, Sept. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vidaris, a leading TIC (testing, inspection, and certification) consultancy, has completed an extensive rebranding effort as a response to its recent joining of the SOCOTEC Group and as a renewal to its corporate vision. The rebrand solidifies the company’s stance as an industry leader offering innovative and unparalleled client service across closely integrated services.

It is important that US operations reflect the ambition and vision of the broader SOCOTEC Group, who shares Vidaris’ drive for ambitious growth through a client-driven strategy as well as the same values - commitment & excellence, entrepreneurship & innovation, accountability & social responsibility.

With an ongoing focus to grow the brand since its formation, Vidaris continued to develop and expand through the acquisition of 6 companies: LPI, Inc, CBI Consulting, C2G International, Synergen Consulting International, David Pattillo & Associates (DPA), and Construction Project Analytics Group (CPAG) and is now a leading group in consulting services with over 300 highly regarded professionals working for the construction, infrastructure, industrial and energy sectors. The rebrand is the result of ongoing efforts to integrate the wholly owned subsidiaries into one global company, to better serve customers. The new branding is an evolution of the former, with a graphic identity more closely aligned with the SOCOTEC brand – the dual branded logos incorporate the tagline “a SOCOTEC Company” as well as the SOCOTEC blue.

“The rebrand is not simply cosmetic—we have taken this opportunity to evolve and improve our approach in the market. We continually strive to be better at everything that we do, every day, for every client,” said Vidaris CEO Marc Weissbach. “While the company will have a new visual identity, its corporate structure, ownership structure, and the high level of service and commitment we provide remains unchanged.”

“The continued integration of the US platform into the SOCOTEC Group is such a positive milestone for the company – uniting the brands is powerful for both internal culture and employees as well as our image to our clients and our industries, allowing us to deliver one message about the variety of integrated services we offer - as one firm,” said Hervé Montjotin, CEO of the SOCOTEC Group, adding, “This new brand and evolving positioning perfectly illustrates our growing ambition in the market.”

Headquartered in New York, NY, Vidaris is a leading TIC (testing, inspection and certification) consultancy focused on assurance services, building design, efficiency and dispute resolution in the construction, real estate, energy, infrastructure and industrial fields, serving as an independent third‐party advisor for leading developers, property owners, industrial operators, utilities, architects and engineers.
