Sensz joins CERTANIA Group

Leading Dutch food safety specialist strengthens CERTANIA’s food expertise and technology-driven capabilities

Naarden/Munich, 1 September 2026 – Sensz B.V., a leading Dutch specialist in food safety, HACCP and quality management, has joined CERTANIA Group. Through this strategic partnership, CERTANIA further strengthens its Food & Consumer Goods segment, adding deep food safety expertise, practical capabilities and proprietary technology to the growing international TICC group.

Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Naarden, the Netherlands, Sensz serves clients across a wide range of sectors, including hospitality, catering, healthcare, retail and government. The company helps organizations make food safety practical, understandable and an integral part of their daily operations through a combination of auditing, consultancy, sampling, training, e-learning and proprietary technology.

Sensz has built a strong position in the Dutch food safety market through its practical, expert-led and technology-driven approach. Its services go beyond compliance, helping organizations translate food safety requirements into workable processes, manage risks and achieve lasting improvements in their daily operations. Through the Sensz Academy, the company provides practical training and e-learning designed to build knowledge, awareness and ownership of food safety throughout organizations.

Sensz, as an organization, has the trust and recognition associated with the ‘Checkpunt Voedselveligheid’ certification, a food safety assurance label recognized by the Dutch Food and Consumer Safety (NVWA). It represents achieving the highest standard of food safety in The Netherlands’.  

The addition of Sensz significantly strengthens CERTANIA’s Food & Consumer Goods segment. Together with FSI Health & Safety, another CERTANIA company with extensive expertise in food safety auditing, Sensz adds complementary expertise, services and proprietary technology to the Group. The combination of Sensz’s strong position in the Dutch market and FSI’s presence in Germany broadens CERTANIA’s capabilities for clients seeking reliable food safety expertise, consistent quality standards and practical implementation across multiple locations and countries.

A key differentiator is SenszIT, Sensz’s proprietary digital platform for food safety and quality management. SenszIT brings audits, inspections, findings, corrective actions, reporting and quality processes together in one digital environment. By combining data with food safety expertise, the platform provides organizations with greater insight, control and transparency across their operations and locations, while enabling efficient and scalable quality management.

“Becoming part of CERTANIA marks an exciting new chapter for Sensz. We share a strong commitment to expertise, quality and entrepreneurship, while remaining close to our clients and focused on practical solutions. Together with CERTANIA and FSI, we see significant opportunities to combine our expertise, technology and market knowledge and to further strengthen food safety and quality management for clients across Europe,” said Rosmaryn Wesselman, founder of Sensz.

Karsten Xander, CEO and founder of CERTANIA, said: “With Sensz and FSI, CERTANIA now offers strong food safety capabilities across key European markets, combining the flexibility and pragmatism of specialized companies with the reach of an internationally operating group. Sensz adds extensive food safety expertise, a strong position in the Dutch market and a distinctive technology- and data-driven approach. This combination is highly relevant for clients that require reliable expertise, consistent standards and practical implementation across multiple locations.”
