On September 24, 2026, Lu Shan, Vice Mayor of Shanghai, led a delegation on a visit to the headquarters of Applus+ Laboratories in Barcelona, Spain.
Senior representatives of Applus+ and Applus+ Laboratories—Richard Bartlett, Mauricio Úbeda, Josep Prat, Paul Cai, and Mar Acinas—together with Josep Maria Ferran, CEO of Applus+ IDIADA, attended the reception and extended their warmest welcome to the delegation.
Accompanied by the reception team, the Shanghai Municipal Government delegation visited the core technical laboratories of Applus+ Laboratories, focusing on the Materials and Structures Laboratory as well as the Electrical and Electronics Laboratory. The delegation learned in detail about Applus+ Laboratories' comprehensive technical strength and global service network in cutting-edge testing and certification.

Currently, with laboratories and expert teams established across Europe, Asia, North America, and other regions worldwide, we successfully combine global technical capabilities with local expertise to fully support our customers' product innovation and market access needs.
The visit of the Shanghai Municipal Government delegation has further reinforced the strong ties between the Group, local government authorities, and regional markets, laying a solid foundation for promoting technical exchange, driving innovation, and deepening future cooperation.
As a leading global partner in testing and certification, Applus+ Laboratories will continue to strengthen its global service network, elevate technical and professional capabilities, and provide higher-quality, higher-depth testing and certification support to both global and local Chinese customers.
