GWP and SPC join forces to become CERTANIA Industrial Analytics

Munich/Zorneding, 28th April 2026 – Two established specialists are joining forces to form a new, powerful player in materials engineering and industrial analytics: GWP Gesellschaft für Werkstoffprüfung mbH and SPC Werkstofflabor GmbH will now operate jointly under the name CERTANIA Industrial Analytics GmbH.

This merger creates far more than the sum of existing capabilities. CERTANIA Industrial Analytics is positioning itself as a leading industrial player, combining deep materials expertise, advanced analytical capabilities and application-driven engineering in a new dimension.

For customers and partners, collaboration remains deliberately stable and reliable. Contacts, projects and proven structures stay in place. At the same time, the organization significantly expands in capacity, depth and technological scope, laying the foundation for a new level of industrial analytics.

An integrated approach across the entire product lifecycle

CERTANIA Industrial Analytics stands for a holistic approach spanning the full product lifecycle, from materials testing and failure analysis to process and quality optimization in industrial applications.

The goal is to turn data, material insight and analytical expertise into robust decision-making. Faster, more precise and more connected than before. In doing so, the company enables industrial partners to systematically enhance safety, quality and performance.

“CERTANIA Industrial Analytics creates a platform that consistently brings together our complementary strengths. We are not simply building a larger company. We are creating a new industrial performance space for our customers,” says the management team.

From established expertise to a new industrial scale

The roots of the companies involved go back more than five decades. Over this time, GWP and SPC have established themselves as highly specialized partners to industry, characterized by deep material understanding, strong technological expertise and a solid regional presence.

With the merger in 2026 and the integration of additional units, this foundation evolves into a significantly expanded network of capabilities. CERTANIA Industrial Analytics represents the transition from established expertise to a scalable, integrated industrial platform.

As part of the international CERTANIA Group, the company is embedded in a global network in the field of Testing, Inspection and Certification. At the same time, close proximity to customers, sites and industrial practice remains a core part of its identity.
