RMA Announces the Acquisition of A.J. Edmond Company

Acquisition expands RMA’s TICC portfolio with analytical chemistry capabilities

RMA Companies (“RMA”) today announced that it has acquired A.J. Edmond Company (“A.J. Edmond”), a leading provider of inspection, sampling, and analytical services. Since December 2021, RMA has completed seven acquisitions, as it executes an aggressive growth strategy to build a national platform for testing and inspection services. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1965, A.J. Edmond provides inspection, sampling, and ISO 17025 accredited laboratory testing for producers and resellers of solid fuels and petroleum byproducts that are used in the production of critical materials and other industrial end-markets. Using state-of-the-art mechanical sampling systems and analytical laboratories, A.J. Edmond specializes in the analysis of raw materials such as petroleum coke, coal, and carbon. A.J. Edmond’s team of scientists and technicians operate out of three highly accredited laboratory facilities strategically located adjacent to major ports in Long Beach, California; Concord, California; and Longview, Washington.

“A.J. Edmond is one of the leading providers of mechanical sampling and analytical testing services for petroleum and solid fuel byproducts,” said Ed Lyon, CEO of RMA. Their strategic positioning in ports and refineries adds new clients in the petrochemical industry to supplement our range of laboratory testing services for critical infrastructure end-markets, following our previous acquisition of PRI. We look forward to providing these services and driving cross-sell opportunities across the RMA companies.”

“We are looking forward to continuing our work under RMA,” said Jeffrey Rolle, former President of A.J. Edmond. “We have served alongside our clients in ports and refineries for nearly six decades. Throughout our history, we have built a reputation of providing highly specialized inspection, sampling, and analytical services that meet our clients testing analytical needs at the point of transfer. Joining RMA will allow us to better serve our clients in the petrochemical industry with a broader range of services.”
