ASEAN as a key region for long-term growth
Reflecting on the rationale behind the integration, Ingo M. Rübenach, CEO of the DQS Group, says: “ASEAN plays an increasingly important role in the global strategies of many of our clients’ organizations. At the same time, rapidly evolving regulatory requirements, increasingly complex supply chains, and rising expectations around quality, safety and sustainability are driving demand for trusted assessment and certification services across industries. Strengthening our presence in the region is therefore a key element of our long-term growth strategy and positions DQS where future development and transformation are taking place.”
The integration of the DQS Malaysia and Singapore offices embeds existing regional expertise more closely within the DQS Group’s operations.
Built on local presence, focused on continuity
DQS is building on established local strengths and a long-standing track record in both markets. With more than two decades of experience in Malaysia and long-standing operations in Singapore, the organization brings proven local expertise—particularly in the fields of sustainability, medical devices, and automotive—rooted in deep market knowledge and long-standing customer relationships. In both markets, these operations have previously been conducted under a license partner model.
“For our customers, continuity is paramount,” says Danny Ng, who will remain responsible for the Malaysia and Singapore operations as Managing Director. “They will continue to work with the same teams and the same points of contact they trust today. Day-to-day services and established routines remain consistent, providing stability and reliability throughout the transition.”
Looking ahead, DQS will further develop its ASEAN footprint in a structured and customer-focused manner—combining deep local market understanding with globally aligned approaches as regulatory requirements, industries and supply chains continue to evolve.
