TORONTO & OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Environmental Risk Information Services (ERIS) and LGI Copy Service Canada (LGI), both leading providers of historical and current environmental assessment information, are announcing the acquisition of LGI to strengthen ERIS’ Canadian operations and improve the overall scale of its business nationwide.
“Adding LGI to the ERIS organization sets a new standard of service and resources as we continue to invest in our Canadian operations to ensure the best quality, products and technology available for our end-users,” said Carol Le Noury, President of ERIS. “LGI adds a wealth of city directories and historical aerial photographs that will directly integrate into our existing platforms, giving our customers even greater access to current and historical environmental risk information.”
By combining their resources, ERIS and LGI are creating a more comprehensive entity in the environmental consulting industry, solidifying ERIS as a single resource for current risk data, as well as historical aerials, city directories, topographic maps, fire insurance maps, and land titles.
