AT4 wireless becomes DEKRA

The DEKRA subsidiary AT4 wireless in Málaga/Spain has changed its name to DEKRA as of April 1, 2017. The Product Testing and Certification business unit now offers its full range and the global network of test laboratories and services under the DEKRA brand. As a leading company in the testing and certification of mobile communications and wireless technologies, AT4 wireless was acquired by DEKRA after over 25 years of continuous growth.

“Combining services relating to the ‘Internet of Things’ and ‘Networked Driving’ within DEKRA gives us great potential for international growth,” say Fernando Hardasmal, Managing Director of the former AT4 wireless S.A.U., which is now known as DEKRA Testing & Certification S.A.U. “As part of DEKRA, we are investing in new facilities, test services and R&D activities focusing on new wireless technologies.”

DEKRA’s global Product Testing & Certification business unit supports customers from various industries at all stages of their value chain: From ICT and mobile communications to larger, strongly diversified markets, such as the automotive industry, retail, health care and consumer goods, in which connectivity is playing a growing role. Bert Zoetbrood, Head of DEKRA’s Product Testing & Certification business unit: “Security and connectivity are inextricably linked. We offer our customers around the world integrated services for innovative products at every step of the development process until the new product is ready for the market.”
