What syntect does

syntect GmbH is a Bensheim, Germany-based B2B professional services company founded in 2016 by Christoph Preis that delivers electrical safety inspection and testing services under German DGUV V3/V4 and VdS regulations, alongside DIN VDE technical standards. The company serves any German business legally obligated to conduct recurring electrical safety inspections, including offices, workshops, factories, laboratories, kitchens, and public facilities, addressing pain points around executive personal liability, insurance coverage continuity, and accident prevention. Its service portfolio spans portable and fixed equipment testing, electrical systems inspection, machine testing, power-operated doors and gates, thermographic inspections, E-charging station testing, ladders, racking systems, photovoltaic installation, lightning protection, fire protection, risk assessments, and hygiene/food safety audits.

Service delivery is field-based, executed through a network of more than 100 certified technicians who conduct on-site inspections at customer premises and produce court-admissible documentation supported by barcode-tracked Excel inventory databases. The business operates on a sales-led, quote-based professional services model offering free inspection concept proposals, with revenue tied primarily to recurring regulatory inspection cycles rather than subscription contracts. Geographic focus covers the Rhein Neckar and Rhein-Main metropolitan regions with nationwide Germany coverage enabled by the technician network. The company is founder-owned, private, and has no disclosed external institutional funding, subsidiaries, or international footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Intertek: Global TIC provider with electrical product testing, installation inspection, and certification services. Comparable in regulatory-driven recurring inspection model, particularly relevant for E-charging and industrial equipment testing.
• SGS: World's largest TIC company, offering electrical and industrial equipment inspection, testing, and certification in Germany. Provides a global comparable for the recurring testing services model syntect operates at smaller scale.
• TÜV Rheinland: Global TIC conglomerate with strong electrical safety testing, machinery inspection, and E-mobility certification offerings in Germany. Overlaps with syntect's core services while serving a far broader customer base and geographic footprint.
• Bureau Veritas: Global TIC player with significant operations in Germany covering electrical installations, industrial equipment testing, and compliance certification. Comparable service category with far greater international scale and breadth.
• TÜV SÜD: Major German-based TIC incumbent providing electrical equipment testing, machinery inspection, and certification services under DIN VDE standards. Comparable in regulatory testing depth but with global operations, enterprise contracts, and brand authority syntect does not match.
• TÜV NORD: German TIC incumbent offering electrical systems and equipment inspection, industrial safety, and certification services. Comparable service scope to syntect with established enterprise and SMB presence across Germany.
• DEKRA: One of Germany's largest TIC (Testing, Inspection, Certification) organizations, offering electrical safety testing alongside a broad portfolio of automotive, industrial, and certification services. Directly comparable to syntect in electrical inspection scope but operates at vastly greater scale and global footprint.

Direct peers

• VdS Schadenverhütung: Germany's leading loss prevention and safety certification organization, covering fire protection, lightning protection, and electrical safety under VdS standards. Direct overlap with syntect's VdS-aligned inspection portfolio, especially in lightning protection and fire safety.
