TesT GmbH is a German engineering specialist in testing machines and measuring systems, delivering solutions and services for components and materials testing. The company was founded 26 years ago by Dr Axel Hunsche, Therese Havemann and Klaus Havemann, who contributed their experience in measurement and testing technology and mechanical engineering.

This founding generation is now seeing a second generation commit to the family business: Julia Kiewitter (née Hunsche), Arne Havemann and Jan Havemann are taking over the management of TesT as co-managing directors. The successors have been established in the company for years and have passed through all company divisions in various roles. In addition, due to their respective educations in business administration,

physics and mechanical engineering, the new management trio complement each other professionally regarding the orientation of the company. At the annual company anniversary celebration in October 2020, the “baton” was ceremoniously passed to the next generation in the form of a spanner. TesT GmbH www.test-gmbh.de
