DNV has opened a new office in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The office is established to support growth of DNV’s certification and risk management business in North America.

DNV’s services have faced a growing demand across a number of industries driven by compliance mandates and the intensifying pressure that all businesses feel to distinguish themselves on the basis of quality. The Chicago office will become the center of DNV's US food safety team.

"Chicago is geographically a springboard to reaching the entire US market, but it is also the center of many important food companies with whom we do business,"says Kathy Wybourn, Director of Food Safety Solutions for DNV in USA.
