DEKRA Danmark history

DEKRA members receive the sticker directly from DEKRA. With the recognition of DEKRA as a monitoring organization, DEKRA experts have also been working as officially recognized experts since 1961, and main vehicle inspections at DEKRA are open to everyone.

The DEKRA head office in Stuttgart also continues to grow steadily: In 1975, construction work begins on a new main administrative building in Schulze-Delitzsch-Straße in Stuttgart-Vaihingen.

The company's own network of inspection centers is also further expanded: In 1979, DEKRA has 51 inspection centers throughout the Federal Republic of Germany.

In 1984, DEKRA offers inspection and appraisal services in 10,000 partner workshops.

As early as October 1991, the one millionth inspection sticker in the new German states is issued by DEKRA in Dresden.

In 1994, Group sales are more than one billion Deutschmarks.

In January 2000, this idea was put into operation at three recently established sites in Germany.

On 2003, DEKRA opens its Technology Center at the EuroSpeedway in Lausitz with a state-of-the-art measuring and testing laboratory.

By 2004, the establishment of DEKRA Personaldienste GmbH was followed by an expansion of the portfolio to include HR consulting, and when the first international site was opened in Croatia, DEKRA Arbeit also became an international group.

In 2009, the Brazilian appraisals specialist Volchi is acquired by DEKRA. DEKRA also acquires KEMA Quality with its headquarters in the Netherlands, a global player in product testing and certifications.

In 2013, DEKRA expands its vehicle inspection business internationally and acquires shares in the New Zealand market leader Vehicle Testing New Zealand (VTNZ). In South Africa, DEKRA boosts its industrial business offering by buying Raysonics, the market leader for non-destructive material testing.
