DNV has announced the launch of its Industrial Services, which it says evolves its inspection business into a dedicated global provider of quality assurance and inspection services for energy, infrastructure, and complex industrial supply chains.
DNV said the move reflects a growing demand from customers navigating increasingly complex energy transition projects, expanding infrastructure investment and more stringent quality and compliance requirements worldwide.
DNV said 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 life cycle, from fabrication and construction through to operations and in-service performance.
“Industrial assets today are larger, more interconnected, and more critical to society than ever before,” said Mohamed Houari, CEO of Industrial Services at DNV. “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 expanded in recent years into offshore wind, power, transmission and distribution, hydrogen, and carbon capture and storage. DNV’s railway business was integrated on 1 January in an effort to strengthen its capabilities across transport and critical infrastructure.
Operating as a standalone business unit within DNV Group, DNV’s Industrial Services aims to combine global scale with regional execution. DNV says its strategy centers on deepening customer partnerships, expanding into adjacent industrial markets and enhancing digital and data-driven capabilities.
“This is more than a renaming,” Houari said. “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.”
