Qualitest Continues Growth Trajectory, Acquires Comply to Expand Pharma and Digital Health Footprint

London – April 7, 2021 - Qualitest, the world’s leading AI-powered, engineering-driven software testing and quality assurance company, announced today the acquisition of Israel-based Comply, a quality assurance specialist in Pharma and Digital Health. 

Qualitest operates in a market that is growing at a 10% annual rate driven by the increasing needs of a $32 billion global outsourced market. The deal is expected to close this week. This is Qualitest’s second high-profile acquisition in 2021 and reinforces the company’s stronghold in the €8 billion medical technology testing market.

The deal will add 83 of Comply’s employees into the Qualitest team and will add Teva, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, GE Medical and AbbVie to Qualitest’s list of high-profile clients. Following the acquisition, Teva will become one of Qualitest’s leading pharmaceutical accounts globally.

It leverages its domain expertise across industries, including insurance and financial services, media and entertainment, retail, consumer goods, technology, gaming, telecom, aerospace, among others.

In particular, the company has focused on the validation of computerized systems, including enterprise IT and laboratory systems, as well as validation of IT infrastructure, such as information security and disaster recovery plans.
