20 YEARS OF SUCCESS
FOR BUREAU VERITAS
CERTEST
Since July 2004, Bureau Veritas Certest in Italy has been servicing the Luxury market and has grown from strength to strength. Jump forward to 2024 and we now have 3 dedicated laboratories and the European hub of Inspection and Audits located right along the Italian Luxury corridor.
From the acquisition of Bureau Veritas right through to plans to expand to double the size beyond 2025. Bureau Veritas Certest has continued to grow from strength to strength.
One of the key achievements has been our ability to adapt to the ever-changing needs of its clients. By continuously investing in research and development, Bureau Veritas Certest has been able to stay ahead of the curve, offering innovative solutions that help its clients navigate the complex regulatory landscape and ensure compliance with the highest standards.
"In the blink of an eye, we already celebrate the 20th anniversary: thanks to all our Clients that, with their partnership, daily contributed to our incredible success story! A special thanks to all the people that have been and will be part of this journey!" - Giuliano Campigli, Vice President - EMEA Consumer
