What Bilfinger Tebodin does

Bilfinger Tebodin is the consulting and engineering brand within Bilfinger SE, a publicly listed European industrial services group. Founded approximately 80 years ago and headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands, the firm employs 4,000 engineers and consultants operating from offices in more than 20 countries across Europe, the Middle East, North America, Africa, and Asia. Its core offering covers the full asset lifecycle of process plants — feasibility studies, basic engineering and FEED, EPCm, design & build, and operations & maintenance — delivered through multidisciplinary teams that integrate at client sites under multi-year framework agreements.

The company's customer base is concentrated in heavy process industries: oil & gas (Shell refinery, Gasunie, Bayernets), chemicals and petrochemicals (INEOS, Clariant, Arkema, PPG, Olenex, INEOS), energy transition (Shell hydrogen, RWE, Circtec, Renewcell, E.ON, EDF/Hinkley Point C), district heating and utilities (Wien Energie, Leipziger Stadtwerke, Hamburger Energiewerke), pharmaceuticals and biopharma (Synthon), and selected industrial segments including automotive (Scania) and food & beverage (Grolsch). Service delivery relies on standardized methodologies, 3D design and planning tools, augmented-reality visualization (via Hololight Space), and digital process planning.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements priced by scope, complexity, and duration under framework agreements, with services delivered both from Bilfinger Tebodin offices and via embedded site teams. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting long-term partnerships rather than transactional volume, and the firm reports a 90% repeat-customer rate. Sustainability is an explicit positioning pillar: the firm holds an EcoVadis Gold Medal (2025), maintains an SBTi commitment, and offers a dedicated Net Zero Approach service. Pricing, contract values, and standalone revenue for the Tebodin unit are not publicly disclosed.
