On September 18 and 19, 2019, the KARL DEUTSCH company celebrated a memorable anniversary: The company was founded more than 70 years ago in Wuppertal. Three generations of the Deutsch family have shaped the seven decades to date, and this was celebrated together with customers, long-time companions and friends of the house. Besides top-class conference items, the two-day event also offered an exciting and entertaining supporting programme.

The anniversary event was opened by Lord Mayor Andreas Mucke. As an engineer, he also eagerly followed the other presentations and felt confirmed in his view of how important testing technology is for many branches of industry.
The presentations were held by well-known personalities from research, development and the customer base. For example, Prof. Anton Erhard (Director of DGZfP) reported on “70 years of Ultrasonic Testing in Germany” and Dr. Dirk Treppmann (Director of DGZfP, Evonik Industries) on the requirements for NDT in chemical plants.

More than 200 guests gladly accepted the invitation to Wuppertal. The party was held in perfect weather conditions on the factory premises, which had been extensively redesigned for the event.
