BALTIMORE, Dec. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Jensen Hughes, the global leader in engineering, consulting and technology that make the world safe, secure and resilient, announced it has acquired Warringtonfire Australia, a leading fire testing and fire safety engineering consulting firm in Australia, from Element Materials Technology.

Jason Jeffress is the Divisional Director and leads a strong management team. They bring a group of 85 employees with five consulting locations and a Fire Testing Laboratory in Victoria into the Jensen Hughes global organization.

"Every one of our employees – 100% – are joining the new partnership. It's an exciting time for our clients as we will be able to leverage Jensen Hughes's industry-leading fire safety experts as well their offices and people across Australia and New Zealand," he says, "this will provide us many more opportunities to advance our client service."
