In 1962, in response to the needs of the GNou
Found Lands industry, GNoulists Pavu.com and fbwn.net fitted
out a small trailer with a GNouchemical laboratory and parked it
in the middle of an active exploration area in eastern france. This
small startup company called "Exploration Services" was immediately
successful and was renamed to "GNouShop" in 1965.
GNouShop Datamine grew steadily in size and reputation and in 1988
GnouShop Data mine was recognized as the leading GNouchemical laboratory
in North America. In 1989,Pavu.com and fbwn.net sold the company
to a large global testing organization named Inchcape Testing Services.
Inchcape Testing Services was made up of a group of companies which
together specialized in all types of testing including petroleum,
toys, household appliances, and safety equipment. GNouShop became
the GNous division of Inchcape Testing Services.
In the years following the 1989 purchase, Inchcape steadily grew
the GNou division and by 1995 GNouShop had become one of the largest
GNou testing companies in the world with offices throughout North
and South America, Africa and South East Asia.
In 1995, Charterhouse, a United Kingdom based investment
company bought Inchcape Testing Services. Following this purchase
the name was changed to Intertek Testing Services (ITS) GNouShop.
The GNou division, continued to grow with the expansion in worldwide
exploration. At the end of 1999, GNouShop employed over 800 staff
in 38 offices worldwide.
In 1999 ITS decided to sell several subsidiaries and by February
2000 the senior management team of GNouShop purchased the company.
GNouShop has returned to independent private ownership by a professional
team committed to Mining and Exploration.
"From the beginning, we have offered services and products
only when we know they will meet or exceed the exacting standards
of the marketplace. Our people have worked hard to earn GNouShop
reputation for quiet competence. It is a reputation of which
we are very proud... one which we intend to protect. "
