/About

Who we are.
What drives us.

BERTELPARTNER is an independent, owner-managed consulting firm based in Leverkusen. We ran plants before we advised plants. We passed audits before we led them. That is the difference.

/Our Story

For over two decades in practice

2020

Phase 01

Lo

The Founding.

BERTELPARTNER GmbH is entered into the commercial register in Leverkusen.
Owner-managed, without software licenses, without commissions from certification bodies, without Big Four reporting structures. The goal: deliver advisory, audit and training for management systems the way we, as practitioners, always wished it had been delivered to us — committed, pragmatic, with fixed scope and fixed price.

2024/ 2025

Phase 02

Lo

The Build-Up.

From individual engagement to established partner of leading industrial clients.
The portfolio grows across six industries — automotive, rail, aerospace, energy, IT services and public sector. More than 120 clients served, from 10-employee SMEs to listed corporate groups. Over 1,200 audits per year in 30 countries. 100% first-time-pass rate for engagements we support end-to-end.

2026

Phase 03

The Future.

The regulatory world is becoming more complex. Our answer: even clearer. ISO 9001:2026, NIS2, CSRD, TISAX 6.0.x, IRIS Rev. 04, ISO 14001:2026 — the wave of standard revisions is rolling. We are expanding: additional senior experts in information security and sustainability, additional accreditations with certification bodies, an extended training portfolio. But our stance stays the same: Plain talk over tactics.

/Our Stance

Plain talk over tactics

01/ People and Relationships

We care about people and personal relationships — open, trusting and respectful. With clients as much as within the team.

02/ Diversity in the Team

The more different perspectives a team brings together, the more good solutions emerge.

03/ Proactive Paths

We aim to go beyond the familiar and shape tomorrow with proactive solutions.

04/ Uncompromising Focus on Quality

Every audit document, every management system, every training is delivered so that it passes the next surveillance audit without findings.

05/ Agile and Networked

Autonomous, networked teams instead of long reporting chains. Fast and flexible.
