UL Solutions Inc. (NYSE: ULS) is a global provider of testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) services, along with related software and advisory offerings. The company is headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, traces its origins to 1894, and completed its IPO in April 2024. It operates as a subsidiary of ULSE Inc.
The business is organized into three segments: Industrial (energy, industrial automation, engineered materials, and built environment end markets), Consumer (safety certification, global market access, and testing for electronics, medical devices, appliances, lighting, and emerging applications such as new mobility and 5G), and Software and Advisory (regulatory, supply chain, and sustainability software, including the ULTRUS platform).
UL Solutions competes in the TIC sector, which tends to grow alongside increases in product safety regulation, supply chain complexity, and sustainability disclosure requirements. Major industry peers include SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek, and Eurofins. ULs long-running brand recognition in product safety certification is a notable differentiator in the consumer and industrial segments.
