SCC Joins Forces with Ramboll
6 September 2024
We are pleased to announce that we have joined the global engineering, architecture and consultancy company Ramboll to complement and enhance its health sciences expertise. Joining forces, Ramboll and SCC aim to play a leading role in the European and global product safety and regulatory affairs market and enable our clients to protect biodiversity and natural resources through sustainable solutions.
With 160 employees, SCC Scientific Consulting Company is one of the largest private and independent regulatory consultancies in Europe, supporting clients worldwide in the registration of agrochemicals, biocides, chemicals, medical devices and other products to ensure their safe and sustainable use. With the acquisition, Ramboll now has more than 340 experts working across its Health Sciences disciplines.
The strategic acquisition strengthens Ramboll’s presence in the agrochemical, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, which face the challenge of providing healthy food and products for a growing population while safeguarding biodiversity and natural resources.
“We are very excited to welcome SCC’s experts to Ramboll,” says Martina Vosteen, Global Division Director Health Sciences at Ramboll. “By combining Ramboll’s global reach and strong science-based Health Sciences consulting team with SCC’s extensive regulatory expertise, we can provide our clients with the best possible support in complex regulatory processes and in the implementation of their stewardship and sustainability programmes. Together, we aspire to lead the way in sustainable product safety and regulatory affairs solutions.”
SCC’s specialists expand Ramboll’s Health Sciences team, which includes experts in epidemiology, toxicology, ecotoxicology, industrial hygiene and safety, exposure science, and risk assessment, paired with in-depth understanding of chemistry and economics. The team is part of Ramboll’s Environment & Health division which comprises more than 3000 experts worldwide, delivering environmental services with an emphasis on sustainable solutions.
“Ramboll and SCC are a perfect match”, says our Managing Director, Florian Pistel. “We can provide greater career opportunities for our talented employees.” Managing Director Monika Hofer adds: “Ramboll provides a true global platform from which to practice and collaborate, across the Americas, Europe, and APAC. We share a common mission, purpose and culture: science-based consulting and delivering the best solutions to our clients.”
“Two major trends shaping the world today are population growth and climate change,“ says Philippa Spence, Managing Director Ramboll Environment & Health. “By 2050, the world is expected to add 3 billion more people who need access to quality and nutritious food. Maintaining the status quo in agriculture and the food value chain is not enough. Agricultural practices that feed people, are climate resilient, and are safe and sustainable are critical to meeting those challenges. SCC’s expertise in supporting seed and pesticide manufacturers with delivering safe and sustainable products, combined with the expertise and global reach of Ramboll’s Health Sciences team, strategically places us to together address these critical challenges.”
