Prevented for a long time by Corona restrictions, we were finally able to visit the CETECOM site in Milpitas, California.

One of our main concerns: communicating the RWTÜV strategy and positive effects of the merger of CETECOM and CTC advanced GmbH in the form of a town hall meeting. Of course, we also exchanged information about the latest technical developments in Silicon Valley, for example in e-mobility and wireless technologies.

Woodgate and Clark Limited, part of the Van Ameyde Group, is the largest regional insurance claims processor in the UK. With the management Phil Scarrett and Graeme Fitzpatrick we discussed the business strategy intensively, but also the IT and HR strategy. Lyndsey Moore, our HR manager, is having a lot of success with new approaches and we are growing with new colleagues.

Due to fog, the CEO of Van Ameyde Group could not join us from the Netherlands, but was there via teams, technology makes it possible!

Today, RWTÜV is represented by subsidiaries on almost all continents. CONSULECTRA has been a member of the Group since 2005, and is very much in the tradition of planning international power infrastructure construction – from feasibility studies and grid simulation to construction supervision for new buildings or refurbishments. Utilities in the energy industry in particular, as well as state institutions, often call on the expertise of the consulting and planning company.

Various factors prompted RWTÜV’s reorientation towards foreign markets, in different areas of operations. With new service offerings and increasing competition at home, at first German industry needed support as it planned to expand internationally in the course of globalisation in the 1970s and ’80s. Certification of products for export to other European countries played a major role here. Later on, services for the respective local markets were added, although in some cases it was years before the necessary accreditations were granted to foreign testing organisations like TÜV.

Founded in 1946, in the immediate post-war period to rebuild the world, the ISO - International Organization for Standardization, together with its sisters IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and ITU (International Telecommunication Union), develops international standards in all areas.

As a member of countless standardisation bodies, the World Day of ISO Standards is naturally also a special date for the RWTÜV Group.

Standardised products mean greater safety for consumers - and thus greater satisfaction. For you too!

Fully packed, the "RWTÜV mobile" travelled to Rijswijk in the Netherlands last Thursday. 

At the summer party of the Van Ameyde Group International, Thomas Biedermann and Fabian Fechner not only wanted to present the "RWTÜV Mission 2025" in the strategy meeting for managers.

The summer party of the youngest member of the Group, MN Mörbitz Nordhorn Ingenieure GmbH, also took place in September.

We welcomed our colleagues to the group family with our anniversary shirts with individualised backs.

We hope for good cooperation, many starting points for synergies and a successful joint future! ??

Van Ameyde, the RWTÜV Group’s provider of complete solutions for claims management, was founded in 1945 by Henry van Ameyde. Initially, influenced by the events of the Second World War, its focus was on handling military and maritime claims.

The history of the German TÜV associations has always been closely linked to the automotive and transport industries and all related services. In the 1970s, with growing competition in the increasingly liberalised vehicle inspection market in the nascent EU, TÜV’s successor RWTÜV sought a way to strengthen and expand its own position. Van Ameyde – the cross-border claims adjuster well known in Europe for the “green card” insurance certificate – was a brilliant fit in the portfolio.
