TÜV Rheinland AG, a global top ten technical service provider, offers railway technology services for safety, quality and interoperability to customers worldwide. A growing market for these services is the People’s Republic of China. During a ceremony at the InnoTrans 2014 rail trade show in Berlin, Germany, TÜV Rheinland signed a major partnership with China South Rail.
The partnership covers training of CSR staff as well as the provision of manpower: TÜV Rheinland will certify approximately 42,000 welders working for China South Rail, and will re-certify them regularly over the next years. China South Rail, on the other hand, will provide manpower to TÜV Rheinland in China, namely non-destructive testing (NDT) training technicians for projects acquired by TÜV Rheinland China in the domestic market.
China South Rail also has the interest to expose their services to the European market and plans to do so in cooperation with TÜV Rheinland.
Dr. Thomas Aubel, Executive Vice President Mobility TÜV Rheinland, said: “We are proud to be China South Rail’s business partner. I am sure that both companies will benefit to a great extent from each other’s experience with international and national markets.”
Dr. Hans Berg, Executive Vice President Industrial Services TÜV Rheinland, added: “Joining forces with China South Rail allows us to provide a more complete set of non-destructive testing services in China This will help us increase our market share in this important sector.”
