The AFNOR Group, which operates internationally through its training and certification activities, strengthens its presence on the Italian market with the acquisition of Quaser Certificazioni.
A long-standing player, partner of the Italian resilience plan
Headed by G.E Giordano, Quaser Certificazioni operates in the fields of management system certification, skills certification, inspection and training.
Founded 20 years ago in Italy, this major certification body has a portfolio of over 1,000 clients across Europe, including companies listed on the FTSE MIB (Milan stock exchange index), numerous professional federations and consumer associations. The majority of its clients are in the general services sector (cleaning, engineering services, lawyers, etc.), tax monitoring and control (control of automatic cash registers) and construction." In Italy, the government has understood that confidence is the key to recovery : it relies on certification bodies like ours to better identify reliable partners ", says G.E Giordano.
A broader range of certifications for the AFNOR Group
The AFNOR Group was already present in Italy. Through this new acquisition, it intends to provide its customers with greater coverage of European markets and facilitate local access to certifications. " Quaser is like a laboratory for the world of services: our French and international customers will discover innovative and unprecedented certifications in the fields of anti-harassment protection, inclusion, for the societal part, but also more business-related, in terms of consumption, safety, inspection, and so on .
Thanks to this acquisition, our ambition is to become a major player in the certification and training market in Italy, and more widely internationally", comments Myriam Augereau-Landais, CEO of AFNOR International.
