Facts and Figures

DEKRA’s history begins in 1925 - the year the "Deutscher Kraftfahrzeug-Überwachungs-Verein" (German Motor Vehicle Inspection Association) was founded. The company, which started out in the automotive sector, now covers a whole range of safety-related services.
Whether on the road, at work or at home - DEKRA’s skilled experts improve safety across all the key areas of life.
And this mission extends around the globe - the expert organization has a workforce of more than 45,000 people working in over 60 countries on six continents.
DEKRA’s international expansion began with their entry into the marketplace in France and Italy in 1988. Since then, the company has further expanded its global position through strategic acquisitions with locations in countries such as China, the USA, South Africa and New Zealand.
In 2019, the company grew for the 16th year in a row, with consolidated revenues rising by 2.1% to EUR 3.4 billion.
