Two major acquisitions by TÜV AUSTRIA Hellas in 2022 further expanded its footprint in the certification and analytics and testing market, namely ACTA and Food Allergens Labs. The integration of the two legal entities – based in Greece and Cyprus respectively – strengthens the pillars of Professional Skills Certification and Laboratory Testing and Analysis in the fields of food safety and environmental testing. At the same time, by investing massively in human capital, TÜV AUSTRIA Hellas´ workforce has increased by 60% in the last 2 years, exceeding 200 permanent and exclusive employees and 235 external collaborators in 5 (five) different geographical locations in the Greek territory where it maintains local offices.
The “Diamonds of the Greek Economy 2022”, organized by “Naftemporiki”, reward companies that have shown the highest performance in 2021, mainly in terms of their net results, and which have served as role models for young entrepreneurs who claim a central role and a strong position in the market.
TÜV AUSTRIA: Putting the plus in the TIC business
Beaming with pride in his staff´s incredible commitment and achievements, TÜV AUSTRIA Hellas general manager Ioannis Kallias announced: “TÜV AUSTRIA Hellas continues to grow on all levels.” Honored to be ranked among the “Diamonds of the Greek Economy 2022”, Kallias continued that the growth of TÜV AUSTRIA Hellas was reflected throughout its operations, “both in the new innovative and pioneering services we create for all those who choose the strong name of TÜV AUSTRIA Hellas, and in our extended family of companies.”
The engineering and certification expert reflected how during the last two years alone, the TÜV AUSTRIA Group subsidiary had increased its human resources by almost 60%, invested in the complete renovation of its Athens offices, as well as expanded its office infrastructure: “As TÜV AUSTRIA, we consider only working environments designed to meet the highest standards of quality, safety and sustainability to be proper fertile ground for the abilities of our highly trained staff.”
Citing innovation as TÜV AUSTRIA Group´s vehicle and safety as the testing, inspection, certification and training (TIC) organisation´s destination since its foundation in 1872, Ioannis Kallias assured the honourable guests at the “Diamonds of the Greek Economy 2022” ceremony that TÜV AUSTRIA would continue putting the plus in the TIC business.
