Attingo Datenrettung GmbH

What Attingo Datenrettung GmbH does

Attingo Datenrettung GmbH is a German private data-recovery specialist founded in 1996/1997 and headquartered in Hamburg. The company operates three cleanroom laboratories — in Hamburg, Vienna, and Amsterdam — and serves customers across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein) and the BeNeLux region (Netherlands and adjacent markets). The core business is professional data recovery from failed or damaged storage systems, spanning HDDs, SSDs, RAID arrays, NAS devices, servers, databases, and virtual machines. Recovery work relies on physical cleanroom procedures for mechanical HDD repair, firmware reverse engineering, and a proprietary tooling stack developed internally; the firm reports a 98% success rate across more than 44,461 documented recoveries.

Revenue mechanics are transaction-based: customers engage on a per-case basis rather than through subscriptions or recurring contracts, with pricing scaled to device complexity (consumer drives at the low end; enterprise RAID, server, and database recoveries materially higher). The customer base is structurally diversified across B2C consumers with broken devices and B2B enterprises with critical-system failures. Publicly named reference customers (Siemens, Roche, PwC, FedEx, Honda) suggest penetration into large-enterprise segments, but the transactional pricing and absence of disclosed anchor-account contracts imply a long-tail revenue distribution rather than concentration on a few key accounts.

The firm appears to be privately held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding rounds and a headcount range of 11-50 employees. Recent strategic activity centers on geographic extension (Amsterdam lab, Switzerland and Liechtenstein market websites), a Europe-wide partner channel, leadership hires (Robbert Brans as Managing Director BeNeLux; Ing. Özgür Göksu as technical director in Austria), and service-line extension into ransomware and virtualization/database recovery. The business model is a classic specialist professional-services firm: capital-intensive at the cleanroom-and-spare-parts level, but labor-light relative to broader IT services markets, with reputation and track record substituting for marketing spend.

Direct peers

• Kroll Ontrack: Kroll's data-recovery division (formerly Ontrack) is the largest global specialist in HDD, SSD, RAID, server, and VM recovery, operating cleanroom labs and serving enterprise customers with similar offerings to Attingo. Direct competitor across the same product categories and customer segments.
• DriveSavers: US-headquartered specialist providing cleanroom-based data recovery for HDDs, SSDs, RAIDs, and enterprise storage systems, with a strong B2B customer roster. Comparable to Attingo in service model, outcome-based pricing, and reliance on physical-recovery infrastructure.
• Gillware: US-based data recovery firm offering cleanroom and software-based recovery for HDDs, SSDs, RAIDs, and mobile devices, alongside forensic services. Closely mirrors Attingo's hybrid B2B/B2C recovery plus forensics mix.
• Stellar Data Recovery: International recovery specialist operating both DIY recovery software and professional lab-based recovery services across HDDs, SSDs, RAIDs, and enterprise storage. Direct peer for both professional services and the broader data-recovery software footprint.
• Secure Data Recovery Services: US-based data recovery provider with certified Class 10 ISO 4 cleanrooms and RAID, SSD, and enterprise storage recovery. Comparable to Attingo in physical-recovery infrastructure, certification focus, and enterprise-grade SLAs.
• SalvageData: Recovery services provider offering cleanroom-based HDD, SSD, RAID, NAS, and database recovery for enterprise and consumer customers. Closely comparable service catalog and target segments to Attingo.
• CBL Data Recovery Technologies: Established global data recovery firm with cleanroom labs and HDD/SSD/RAID/server recovery offerings serving enterprise and government clients. Comparable scale and service profile, particularly relevant as a fellow multi-region cleanroom operator.

Broad incumbents

• Iron Mountain: Global information-management incumbent offering a much broader portfolio of records management, backup, and digital vault services that include elements of data recovery. Adjacent and partially overlapping rather than specializing in Attingo's cleanroom recovery niche.
