Global Partner Meeting: Growing our businesses together
Nearly 100 managing directors and leaders from across the CERTANIA Group came together in Munich to connect expertise, share ideas and shape the next chapter of their journey towards becoming a leading global TICC group.
Munich, 6th November 2026. What does it take to build a leading global group in testing, inspection, certification and compliance? For CERTANIA, the answer starts with people: entrepreneurs and experts who combine deep specialist knowledge with the ambition to achieve more together.
On 4 and 5 November, managing directors and leaders from across the CERTANIA Group gathered in Munich for the Global Partner Meeting. Today, the group comprises more than 50 companies and 3,400 employees worldwide. Since the last Partner Meeting, 12 new partners have joined the group.
Under the motto “Growing our businesses. Together.”, the meeting brought together perspectives from across companies, regions and disciplines. The focus: how to connect the group’s expertise, strengthen customer relationships and continue to grow while remaining close to the customers and markets its partners serve.
Turning expertise into customer value
In business-unit workshops, partners also exchanged perspectives on the operational indicators that matter most to their businesses. The conversations brought different viewpoints together around a common question: how can better insights support excellent service and sustainable growth?
Making the most of AI
Artificial intelligence was another central topic, just like the year before. Partners explored how AI can support their teams and improve everyday work across the group.
“AI gives us an opportunity to learn faster, work smarter and make more of the expertise we already have across our group. The important part is turning that potential into practical support for our people and our customers,” says Moritz Gruber, CEO of CERTANIA.
One group, entrepreneurial spirit
The meeting was also an opportunity to welcome new partners, share success stories and reflect on the culture that connects CERTANIA’s businesses. Trust, excellence, partnership and ownership provide a shared foundation, while the companies retain the entrepreneurial spirit and specialist focus that make them strong.
“CERTANIA is still a young company, but our people and the atmosphere they create are unique. We have sharp minds, enthusiastic entrepreneurs, detail-obsessed technicians, IT nerds, engineers and charismatic personalities. They all share a passion for making the world safer and adding certainty to life. They come together to build the CERTANIA family, and that is what makes our Partner Meetings so special
Just as important were the conversations beyond the agenda: meeting new colleagues, reconnecting with familiar faces and discovering opportunities to collaborate across the group.
CERTANIA’s journey is built on the strength of its partners. Together, they are creating a group with the expertise, reach and ambition to make a difference for customers around the world.
