FROM EXPERIENCE TO A CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE

Sometimes there are good reasons to try something completely new. In our case, it was dissatisfaction with decades of entrenched thinking in long-established structures. However, we are convinced that our very special expertise in normative testing services on the one hand and practical utility value studies on the other is more important and unique than ever before, especially in today’s world. That is why we pooled our knowledge and our drive for change and founded KWF Services GmbH in 2021, combining the best of our past in a company that operates in a modern and powerful way in the market of the future.

Now we can operate more independently than ever before and offer and perform the highest quality engineering services. In doing so, we are able to preserve what we have achieved so far and manage our new growth in all areas of business and steer it in the right direction for the future.

Standing still is not an option for us. We firmly believe that speed, flexibility, and reliability are crucial to our success. We don’t want to be mediocre; we are always attentive and listen to our environment. This is how we move forward, develop further, and offer ever better services to our customers.

Feel free to put us to the test and challenge us. We are ready.
