TÜV NORD Newsletter

Dear colleagues,

As we approach the end of the year, we would like to take a moment to look back at the achievements that have made this December especially remarkable.

This month, our teams have been honoured with two client awards: one from SIDEL in the UK and another from Sodern in France. These recognitions reflect the dedication, expertise, and commitment to excellence that each of you brings to our projects every day.

Even more significantly, we are proud to announce the opening of our new subsidiary, ALTER US, a milestone that marks an exciting step forward in our global expansion and sets the stage for new opportunities in 2025.

As always, this edition also highlights contributions from ongoing projects across our Business Unit, thank you to everyone who shared updates and insights.

We wish you all a wonderful holiday season and a joyful start to the new year. And remember, you can already start sending us your news and contributions for the January edition!

Happy holidays,
The Newsletter Team
