As part of its strategy to reinforce its services in non-statutory markets, TÜV Rheinland has acquired Burotec, an international company based in Madrid, which provides complete, turnkey services in quality control, product inspection, technical auditing, supervision of occupational and industrial safety services, engineering, and project management in any country worldwide.
