DEKRA Expands Industrial Business in China
DEKRA is strengthening its industrial testing business in China. The global expert organization is taking over major parts of industrial business previously conducted by ENERTIC Engineering Technical Co. Ltd in Beijing. ENERTIC is a specialist in industrial inspection with a focus on the energy and mining industries.
ENERTIC has been supporting multinational and Chinese companies with material testing, documentation, and consulting services for procurement for almost two decades.
“The major part of ENERTIC’s business is a good strategic fit to DEKRA. With taking over this industrial business, DEKRA is significantly expanding and strengthening its vendor inspections capabilities in China,” says Stan Zurkiewicz, Executive Vice President for DEKRA’s East and South Asia region. “Such an expansion will also create ideal conditions for DEKRA’s regional expansion with a particular focus on the refinery and power plant markets.”
“We are happy that ENERTIC’s business joins our global network within vendor inspections to further strengthen our capabilities to serve our international customers that have important manufacturing of industrial goods in China”, says Joakim Wikeby, Executive Vice President of the DEKRA Service Division Industrial Inspection.
In recent years, DEKRA has systematically expanded its material testing and inspection activities around the world by way of acquisitions and organic growth. In addition to the domestic European markets in Scandinavia and central, southern and eastern Europe, there has been a particular focus on expansion in China and India, southern Africa, and also, in the past two years, North America.
