June 04, 2026 – PECB is proud to announce that it has signed a new partnership agreement with Fernau Präzisionstechnik GmbH, to distribute PECB training courses in Germany. This partnership will ensure that the respective companies will give their expertise-based contribution in offering and organizing PECB training courses.

“PECB’s partnership agreement with Fernau Präzisionstechnik GmbH enhances the company’s business strategy by providing a comprehensive range of training courses and professional certifications,” said Tim Rama, the CEO of PECB. “Our partnership with Fernau Präzisionstechnik GmbH gives us the opportunity to leverage our advanced training courses on the market area of Germany. In addition to providing outstanding training courses, Fernau Präzisionstechnik GmbH has proven to be successful in the business market,” concluded Rama.

“For me, this partnership with PECB is a natural step rather than a new direction, and I’m grateful to Mr. Rama for the opportunity — one that I’m confident will take both us and PECB to the next level in Germany,” said Lars Zimmermann, Managing Director of Fernau Präzisionstechnik GmbH, PECB-certified ISO/IEC 42001 Senior Lead Auditor, ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor, and PECB Certified Trainer. “I don’t teach these standards from a slide deck — I audit against them in the field, and I run a manufacturing company where AI is part of daily operations. I see the obligations from both sides: as an auditor and as a managing director who has to deliver. With the EU AI Act taking effect, German mid-sized companies need training that connects the standard to the shop floor, not just to theory. With PECB’s internationally recognized programs, my vision is to make ISO/IEC 42001 and ISO/IEC 27001 genuinely usable for the German Mittelstand — and to take people from holding a certificate to actually carrying the responsibility behind it.”

About Fernau Präzisionstechnik GmbH

Founded in 1995 and based in Darmstadt, Germany, Fernau Präzisionstechnik GmbH is a precision-engineering contract manufacturer specializing in CNC machining — CNC milling, CNC turning, and conventional turning. The company combines this hands-on industrial manufacturing with practical expertise in AI governance and information security. Through its brand “Der KI-Auditor” (der-ki-auditor.de), led by Managing Director Lars Zimmermann — a PECB-certified ISO/IEC 42001 Senior Lead Auditor and ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor with more than 1,200 documented audit hours across five European countries, and an IHK-certified AI Manager — the company helps German mid-sized businesses introduce, audit, and govern artificial intelligence responsibly.

Its expertise is grounded in practice rather than theory: Lars Zimmermann audits these standards in the field, and the company uses AI in its own day-to-day manufacturing. After years of this hands-on experience, the company decided to pass its know-how on to others — and it was this step that led to its partnership with PECB. As an official PECB Partner and Certified Trainer, Fernau Präzisionstechnik GmbH now delivers accredited PECB training courses alongside its consulting, implementation support, and internal and supplier audits.
