According to Lothar Weihofen, country manager of DEKRA Industrial RSA, the decision to sell forms part of DEKRA’s global strategic focus on Europe, Asia and North America. “By transferring ownership to a highly capable and experienced local consortium, we ensure continuity for employees and clients. The rebranding to Raysonics Industrial reflects the company’s roots and ensures the business continues to thrive locally as a powerful brand synonymous with quality, safety expertise and credibility in the NDT and inspection sector,” he says.
Raysonics Investment is a shareholder consortium with decades of combined expertise across non-destructive testing, inspection, industrial services and South Africa’s broader operational landscape. “Through this acquisition, the company will transition into an exciting new era under committed South African ownership,” says Bennie Groenewald, incoming chief executive officer of Raysonics Industrial.
