Founded in 2016, Normec has grown into a leading European partner in testing, inspection, certification and compliance. Through dozens of acquisitions and collaborations, we combine local expertise with international scale. 

Entrepreneurship is in our DNA.  From lab analyses to inspections on major infrastructure projects, our diversity shapes both our work and our culture.
