De diensten betreffen, materiaal en chemische testen, brandveiligheid, advies, inspecties en training services voor de procesindustrie met expliciete expertise in sectoren als petrochemie, pharma en voeding.

Organisatorisch zal Chilworth onderdeel worden van de wereldwijde
product-testactiviteiten van de DEKRA Certification Group, voorheen bekent als
KEMA Quality met haar hoofdkantoor in Arnhem. De activiteiten van Chilworth zullen geleidelijk aan worden samengevoegd met de al bestaande laboratoria en activiteiten op het gebied van explosieveiligheid waaronder die in Nederland, Duitsland en Japan. - Bert Zoetbrood - "met deze acquisitie versterken wij niet alleen onze oorspronkelijke activiteiten, het testen van elektrische apparaten zoals bekent van KEMA-KEUR, aansluitend verstevigen wij ons fundament als de leidende testorganisatie in proces- en explosieveiligheid".

"Voor DEKRA is met de aankoop van Chilworth een sterk signaal afgegeven dat DEKRA's expansiestrategie in industriële omgevingen met hoge kwaliteit en een breed scala aan testservices voor o.m. de procesindustrie op wereldwijde schaal is ingezet", zegt Stefan Kölbl, voorzitter van de raad van bestuur van
DEKRA SE. Wij zijn vastbesloten onze positie in Engeland en de belangrijkste markten in Noord Amerika en India voor verdere uitbouw van de Aziatische markten en het Amerikaanse continent gestalte te geven.


Chilworth brengt onze organisatie additionele expertise die ons in staat stelt het aanwezige synergiepotentieel aaneen te sluiten, stelt Mark Thomä, lid van de raad van bestuur van DEKRA SE en CEO van DEKRA Industrial.
"De DEKRA en Chilworth combinatie positioneert zich als de full service provider in proces- en explosieveiligheid voor multinationals, in zowel fabricageprocessen als de bouw en constructie en operaties".

"DEKRA is de ideale partner voor Chilworth om de toekomstige ontwikkelingen van het bedrijf in het DEKRA netwerk uit te bouwen en het biedt ongekende kansen voor onze experts. DEKRA staat voor dezelfde waarden als openheid, integriteit, innovatie en klanttevredenheid, welke wij vanaf het begin van de onderneming als het fundament van onze activiteiten hebben uitgedragen, aldus Paul Cartwright, CEO en oprichter van Chilworth Global".

DEKRA heeft alle aandelen van Chilworth, dat terug gaat naar 1986, overgenomen. De onderneming zal onder leiding komen te staan van Bert Zoetbrood, CEO van de DEKRA Certification Group in Arnhem.
