UT, MT and PT equipment for the new zfp Akademie GmbH in Duisburg

There is a new provider for NDT training: The zfp Akademie GmbH in the German town of Duisburg.

The driving force behind this project was Resit Akman, who is also the managing director of the service inspection company mtl Werkstoffprüfung GmbH with 60 employees.

Experienced employees who are well-known to the NDT community, such as Ralf Luckei (management) and Dirk Riegel (lecturer), were recruited. The business model is exceptional and is intended to address the lack of qualified personnel in Germany. For this reason, the courses are also offered in many languages such as Arabic, English, Russian, Turkish and Ukrainian.

A Turkish certification body and the TÜV Rheinland Akademie GmbH were found as partners. Thus, zfp Akademie offers the necessary flexibility.

New and large premises were set up in Duisburg. For the launch, KARL DEUTSCH was asked to supply the UT, MT and PT equipment. Six ultrasonic sets based on ECHOGRAPH 1095, a DEUTROFLUX MT testing system, mobile MT units, UV LED lamps, six PT test stations and all accessories were delivered at the beginning of 2023.

Reinhold Engels and Dr. Wolfram Deutsch visited the zfp Akademie after the delivery and were warmly welcomed with a Turkish lunch.
