Irby Company, Jackson, Miss., a subsidiary of Sonepar USA, announced the acquisition of Electrical Test Labs of Georgia, Inc. (ELTG), Lake Park, Ga. The purchase will expand Irby’s test lab offering and product range.

ETLG operates a dielectric test lab and a mobile testing unit that serves customers in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. Irby has three existing test labs in Fargo, N.D., Fort Worth, Texas, and West Boylston, Mass., and operates mobile test units across its service territory.
