DNV has launched Industrial Services, evolving its inspection business into a dedicated global provider of quality assurance and inspection services for energy, infrastructure and complex industrial supply chains.
The move reflects growing demand from customers navigating increasingly complex energy transition projects, expanding infrastructure investment and more stringent quality and compliance requirements worldwide.
The new name signals a broader industrial focus, spanning traditional energy, renewables, power transmission, hydrogen, carbon capture, rail and industrial manufacturing, and positions the business to support customers across the full asset lifecycle, from fabrication and construction through to operations and in-service performance.
Mohamed Houari, CEO of Industrial Services at DNV, said: “Industrial assets today are larger, more interconnected and more critical to society than ever before. At the same time, regulatory scrutiny and supply chain complexity are increasing.
“Our customers need partners who combine technical expertise with global reach and local presence. DNV’s Industrial Services reflects that evolution, we are strengthening our role as a trusted industrial partner helping safeguard performance, manage risk and accelerate delivery of vital energy and infrastructure projects.”
Originally rooted in oil and gas inspection, the business has significantly expanded in recent years into offshore wind, power, transmission and distribution, hydrogen and carbon capture and storage. The integration of DNV’s railway business from 1 January 2026 further strengthens its capabilities across transport and critical infrastructure.
Operating as a standalone business unit within DNV Group, DNV’s Industrial Services combines global scale with strong regional execution. Its strategy centres on deepening customer partnerships, expanding into adjacent industrial markets and enhancing digital and data-driven capabilities to improve service delivery and asset performance.
Houari added: “This is more than a renaming. It is a clearer expression of the industrial role we already play and our commitment to supporting customers as they build, operate and maintain the infrastructure that underpins the global energy transition.”
