Editorial

Dear all,

Anil Rairikar, who has led TÜV India for many years and fashioned it into an elite company, will go into retirement at the end of the year. We wish him all the best for the future. We also report on the General Managers Meeting of the Industrial Services business unit, on an innovation workshop organised by TÜV NORD Mobilität and on the silicon-carbide power diodes co-developed by ATN, which are characterised by an unusually large operating temperature range from -170 ° to +300 °C.

We wish you an enjoyable read. As always, your input on our output is very much appreciated. Please get in touch with us; you can find our address in the footer.

Best regards for a prosperous New Year,
