The competition authorities in South Korea, the USA, the EU and China have cleared the merger between the DNV and GL, both of which will soon celebrate 150 years of independent operations.
The new company, formally called DNV GL Group, will comprise 17,000 employees across 300 sites in more than 100 countries, and have revenues of € 2,500 million per year. The past six months laid emphasis on integration planning so that the new company is ready to start operating as one company with effect from 12 September. All certificates and approvals from DNV and GL will remain valid. In the coming months, DNV GL will accelerate integration processes to ensure consistent and continuous service operations, avoiding any business interruption for customers.
