TÜV Rheinland has completed the acquisition of Safetec Nordic AS. Safetec’s operations will complement the existing risk, safety and integrity management services provided by TÜV Rheinland and will be integrated into its Industrial Services & Cybersecurity business. In Norway and Sweden, Safetec will continue its business activities under a combined TÜV Rheinland Safetec branding from beginning of 2025. Safetec UK will be integrated into Risktec, the existing risk and safety consultancy business of TÜV Rheinland in the UK.
Leading risk management consulting company in Norway
Safetec is the leading risk management consulting company in Norway, active across oil & gas, renewables, transportation, maritime, public sector, health, and aquaculture sectors. It was established in 1984 and is headquartered in Trondheim, Norway with around 150 employees. Safetec has five other offices in Norway, as well as offices in Sweden and the UK.
The combined business will be one of the leading risk and safety consulting businesses in Europe, creating a group of more than 600 risk and safety experts to better serve its global client base. The acquisition establishes a sizeable TÜV Rheinland presence in the Nordic region, while at the same time consolidating the market position of TÜV Rheinland as the leading risk and safety consultancy in the UK.
Increased demand for sustainability, decarbonization and business continuity
“We look forward to creating growth, stability and opportunity at a time where we are seeing increased demand for sustainability, decarbonization and business continuity,” said Gareth Book, Regional Business Stream Manager of TÜV Rheinland for Industrial Services & Cybersecurity in Western Europe. “Safetec will complement the existing risk, safety and integrity management services provided by TÜV Rheinland. Our aim is to build upon the long-standing customer relationships and trust that Safetec and TÜV Rheinland have established over the last decades in their respective markets.”
“Our decision to join forces with TÜV Rheinland is driven by our shared vision and values. Both companies have built strong reputations based on employee excellence and a commitment to delivering exceptional value to our customers,” said Stein Eggan, CEO of Safetec. “This acquisition not only recognizes our past achievements but also represents an investment in our shared future, aligning with our long-term strategy and ambitions. Together with TÜV Rheinland, we are excited to embark on this new journey, fostering growth opportunities for our employees, accelerating innovation, and strengthening our commitment to sustained success for both our customers and our company.”
