XCEL NDT LLC (“XCEL”) has announced the acquisition of Integrity Assessment Group (IAG), a move that significantly expands its non-destructive testing (NDT) and industrial services portfolio. The transaction marks a strategic step for XCEL, adding new service lines, strengthening manpower, and extending coverage into additional industrial markets, particularly power generation.
“Bringing IAG into the XCEL family is about building something stronger together,” said Cole Morehead, Chief Executive Officer of XCEL. “IAG’s business model and momentum complement ours, and we see clear, immediate opportunities for synergies and cross-selling. Their Pipeline Maintenance & Cathodic Protection (CP) group will continue to operate under the Integrity Assessment Group entity, enabling a turn-key sales strategy. That’s a win for customers who want fewer handoffs, faster execution, and clear accountability.”
With minimal client and geographic overlap, the acquisition is expected to deliver value quickly by enhancing operational capacity and broadening technical expertise. Customers will now benefit from access to expanded manpower, specialized equipment, and senior technical leadership—all underpinned by a disciplined integration plan that prioritizes safety, quality, and continuity of service.
The partnership positions XCEL as a stronger player in NDT and industrial services, creating a comprehensive solutions provider capable of meeting complex customer demands across multiple sectors.
