Danish GTS institute founded 1940; ~1,000 staff in NDT, robotic inspection, welding, and engineering for energy, maritime, and manufacturing clients.
FORCE Technology is a non-profit research and technology organisation (GTS/RTO) headquartered in Brøndby, Denmark, tracing its origins to Svejsecentralen (The Welding Centre), founded on 25 October 1940 to X-ray and certify steam boiler welds. Today the company employs approximately 1,000 specialists across 16 service areas and serves thousands of clients annually in sectors including energy, oil and gas, maritime, infrastructure, wind, defence, biotech, and manufacturing.
Core service lines include non-destructive testing (NDT) — ultrasonic, radiographic, eddy current, penetrant, magnetic particle, and leak testing — as well as integrity management, structural engineering, materials analysis, welding technology, calibration, acoustics, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, photonics, 3D printing, simulations (CFD), corrosion control, and electronic product compliance. The company maintains an advanced multidisciplinary robotics team that develops bespoke inspection robots for hard-to-access structures, including the F-EIM eddy-current robot for subsea joint inspection, drone-based wind-turbine inspections, and robotic ammonia-tank inspection systems.
FORCE Technology is one of the large approved technological service (GTS) institutes in Denmark and reinvests all profits into the organisation for the benefit of Danish industry and society. It holds accreditations under EN 473/ISO 9712 for NDT personnel certification and maintains multiple laboratory accreditations. The company also provides industrial training and courses, participates in EU-funded R&D projects, and runs knowledge networks and standards committees. Its main facility at Park Allé 345, Brøndby houses testing halls, climatic chambers, acoustic laboratories, hydrodynamic facilities, and welding research infrastructure.
