MT. LAUREL, NJ— inTEST Corporation (NYSE American: INTT), a company specializing in instruments for measuring and testing of electricity and electronic signals, disclosed its plans for a strategic consolidation of operations, leading to the closure of its subsidiary’s Netherlands facility. The announcement made on Monday, March 03, 2025, comes as the company, with annual revenue of $122 million, seeks to enhance efficiency and reduce operating costs. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 2.26, indicating strong short-term financial stability.
The subsidiary, Videology Imaging Corporation, will centralize its operations at the Mansfield, Massachusetts location. This move will result in the termination of certain employees at the Netherlands facility. The company expects the consolidation process to be largely completed by the end of the year, with the full vacation of the Netherlands facility. This strategic shift comes as InvestingPro analysis shows the company operates with a moderate debt level, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.28.
Financially, inTEST anticipates incurring cash charges related to severance and other one-time termination benefits amounting to approximately $350,000. Additional costs, including moving expenses, lease termination of the Netherlands facility, and other associated consolidation expenses, are estimated to range from $200,000 to $300,000.
This strategic decision comes as inTEST aims to streamline its operations within Videology, a wholly-owned subsidiary. The consolidation is intended to bolster operational efficiencies and cut down on the overhead associated with running multiple facilities.
