LinkedIn Profile

As we enter our centenary year, DEKRA is standing strong – resilient, future-focused, and committed to moving forward. Even in the face of prevailing global challenges we have continued on our growth trajectory, reinforcing our position as the global partner for a safe, secure, and sustainable world.

Our onging success is built on strategically investing in both our core business and future-oriented fields. In 2024 we moved further in this direction, advancing key projects such as the Battery Test Center in Klettwitz (Brandenburg), opening a WiFi component testing laboratory in Stuttgart, and expanding our laboratory network in mainland China and Taiwan.

Alongside investing in state-of-the-art testing and certification sites, we have also strengthened our expertise, expanding our footprint in critical fields such as electromobility, automated driving, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, hydrogen, and sustainability.

In fiscal year 2024 we once again fulfilled our mandate to ensure the safe, secure, and sustainable adoption of new technologies. For the area of artificial intelligence we introduced quality management systems, training programs, risk assessments, and testing procedures, while in the cybersecurity field we implemented rigorous test scenarios based on international standards, to help corporations protect sensitive data.

2025 brings a significant milestone for us: 100 years of DEKRA; a century of standing for safety. “Securing the Future” – this is our centennial slogan. It serves to spotlight that, in the context of being an independent third party, our mission is steadfastly to create a safe, secure, and sustainable world for generations to come. We invite you to join us on this journey.

Our mission as an independent third party: Securing the future through an uncompromising commitment to a safe, secure, and sustainable world.
