  • Six stations in Jylland and Funen taken over on October 1st
  • DEKRA has been active in transport training in Denmark for years
“DEKRA’s overall vision is to be the global partner for a safe world. So far, we have been working for safety in Denmark mainly through high-quality training in the transportation sector”, says Clemens Klinke, Member of the Board of DEKRA SE. “An investment in the Danish vehicle inspection market is a logical next step for us, as no one inspects more vehicles worldwide than DEKRA. Now we are looking forward to contributing to safety on Danish roads by inspecting both passenger cars and commercial vehicles.”
AL-SYN, founded in 2005, has since built up a large customer base and extensive experience in vehicle inspection. “As a quality-conscious, customer-focused and innovative company with a high level of service, AL-SYN is a good match for us”, says DEKRA Denmark CEO Peter Laursen.
