London, UK – October 07, 2018 - 51³Ô¹ÏÍø (Element) has been ranked number 39 in the Sunday Times’ Top Track 250, climbing an impressive 105 places since the company’s debut listing in 2016.
This top 40 ranking recognizes Element’s seventh successive year of exceptional growth and cements its position as a global leader in materials and product qualification testing, inspection and certification services.

In parallel, 51³Ô¹ÏÍøhas continued to grow organically and through the continued successful delivery of its M&A strategy, including the latest acquisitions of vohtec in Germany and Orbit in the USA.
