Van Ameyde, the RWTÜV Group’s provider of complete solutions for claims management, was founded in 1945 by Henry van Ameyde. Initially, influenced by the events of the Second World War, its focus was on handling military and maritime claims.

The history of the German TÜV associations has always been closely linked to the automotive and transport industries and all related services. In the 1970s, with growing competition in the increasingly liberalised vehicle inspection market in the nascent EU, TÜV’s successor RWTÜV sought a way to strengthen and expand its own position. Van Ameyde – the cross-border claims adjuster well known in Europe for the “green card” insurance certificate – was a brilliant fit in the portfolio.

RWTÜV has had a new working student for about 7 weeks now - time to introduce her! 

On 10 June, our new innovation and networking platform RWTÜV Campus was launched. Since then, it has taken off in a big way! Creative ideas from our employees on the topic of sustainability are right at the forefront, but the need for internal exchange and the active search for synergy potential is also enormous!

New audio test stations for eCall and ERA-GLONASS measurements, a 5m semi-anechoic test chamber for radio and EMC measurements, capacities for large and heavy test items weighing up to 4 tonnes - RWTÜV subsidiary CETECOM has been offering all this and much more in a new test hall in Essen for a week now.

The Düsseldorf and Essen locations were merged, and at the same time the testing capacities in Essen were increased in order to expand the entire service portfolio.

And also this week we start with varied impressions of the next summer party. Last Friday, Thomas Biedermann and Fabian Fechner went to Everswinkel in the Münsterland for the summer party of Ingenieurbüro Nordhorn GmbH & Co. KG .

The TGA engineers welcomed in rustic surroundings with a sporty programme. Skilfully aiming at targets (made of wood, of course!) and then landing perfect hits ....

If that wasn't an inspiring exercise!

On August 19, RWTÜV subsidiary CETECOM celebrated its summer party. Thomas Biedermann and Fabian Fechner mingled with the people, presented developments and future plans of the group and were available for questions. A few impressions of the varied celebration for employees and families can be found again in a small picture gallery.

Machine and product safety in plant engineering not only includes (minimum) safety standards for technical products on the European domestic market, but also conformity assessment procedures, risk analyses, verification, validation and verification documentation. It is good to be advised by experienced experts in this complex field!

G + N Consult is a construction management company established in Düsseldorf and Offenbach. It entered the market in 1993 with a new concept for the construction and real estate sector: rather than relying on fixed ideas – and in keeping with the TÜV approach – the company specialised from the outset in analysis, project control and project management for forward-looking new buildings or sustainable revitalisations.
