METALogic becomes part of the TÜV AUSTRIA Group

METALogic in Leuven, the corrosion specialist with deep academic roots, has become part of the TÜV
AUSTRIA Group since 16 July 2019.

The acquisition by TÜV AUSTRIA provides broad synergy as the two companies complement each
other well. The knowledge and expertise of METALogic is a very valuable addition to the Inspection
and Asset Management portfolio of TÜV AUSTRIA, while the international network and certain specific
techniques of TÜV AUSTRIA enable METALogic to serve its customers even better.
The previous main owner, the KU (University) of Leuven, will continue to hold a minority stake in the
future, which also implies proximity to application-oriented research.
Particularly due to the high level of expertise of METALogic in the area of RBI (Risk Based Inspection)
supported by a corresponding software solution, to the broad experience in corrosion engineering and testing of coatings, TÜV AUSTRIA significantly expands its expertise in this area.

METALogic and TÜV AUSTRIA have been good partners for many years. METALogic is a TÜV
AUSTRIA license holder for the application of acoustic emissions, a technology that was further
developed by TÜV AUSTRIA some 25 years ago and which METALogic has been using successfully
for years, particularly for atmospheric storage tanks and pressure vessels.
