Kiwa Expands in Europe

Strengthening Expertise in Belgium with Electro-Test 

Electro-Test, specializing in inspections of electrical, gas, and water installations, elevator inspections, fire safety, and related training, will operate as a separate division within Vinçotte (a Kiwa company). This expansion reinforces Kiwa’s position as a leading player in the Belgian TIC market. 

The TIC landscape is evolving rapidly due to digitization, increasing regulatory complexity, and strong market consolidation. By partnering with Electro-Test, this complements Vinçotte’s existing activities and can offer an even broader range of services to both residential and professional customers. 
 
All employees and activities from Electro-Test will be integrated into Vinçotte. Customers can expect uninterrupted service from their trusted teams. Over the coming months, Electro-Test and  Vinçotte experts will collaborate closely to align expertise, realize synergies, and respect the identity of both organizations, all while building a stronger foundation for future growth in Belgium. 

Expanding Fire Safety Consulting in Denmark with 360 Brandrådgivning 

In Denmark, the addition of 360 Brandrådgivning represents a strategic step toward offering a complete portfolio of fire safety and technical consulting services in the Danish market. Kiwa Denmark, which already owns the renowned inspection body Kiwa RMG Inspection, will combine their impartial accredited inspection capabilities with 360 Brandrådgivning’s certified fire technical consultancy, enabling clients to gain access to comprehensive expertise while both entities maintain their professional integrity. 

Topi Saarenhovi, CEO of Kiwa Denmark, highlights the opportunity: 

"We are incredibly proud to welcome 360 Brandrådgivning to the Kiwa family. They have built a strong reputation for their deep technical insight and solution-oriented approach. By combining their advisory skills with our existing inspection services in Kiwa RMG Inspection, we can now offer the market an unrivalled synergy that covers the entire life cycle of fire safety in construction." 

For 360 Fire Consultancy, the partnership allows access to a larger international organization without losing close customer relationships. Both 360 Brandrådgivning and Kiwa RMG Inspection will continue to operate independently, adhering to strict rules of impartiality, independence, and confidentiality, ensuring that existing client contacts and relationships remain unchanged. 

Creating a Stronger European Presence 

With the addition of Electro-Test and 360 Brandrådgivning, Kiwa strengthens its position as a leading player in fire safety in Denmark and in TIC in Belgium. Together, the combined expertise of these organizations enhances Kiwa’s ability to support organizations across Europe that need to ensure safety, compliance, and operational continuity.
