Direct peers

• Dr. Heinrich Jäckli AG: Swiss geological and hydrogeological consulting firm offering similar services including groundwater, contaminated sites, geotechnics, and natural hazard assessment; directly comparable as a peer-sized specialist consultancy in the Swiss market.
• GEOTEST AG: Swiss geotechnical, geological, and environmental consulting firm with comparable service lines in Baugrund, Altlasten, Gewässerschutz, and Naturgefahren; directly competes for similar public and private clients in the Swiss German-speaking market.
• Holinger AG: Mid-sized Swiss engineering consultancy with overlapping water, environmental, and geotechnical services including contaminated site remediation and groundwater protection; comparable service mix but at significantly larger scale.
• Suter + Partner AG VBI/SIA: Swiss engineering and environmental consultancy offering hydrogeology, contamination, and construction ground services similar to Wanner's portfolio; competes in the same Swiss regional market.
• Hager Partner AG: Swiss geotechnical and environmental engineering firm providing Baugrund, groundwater, contaminated site, and tunneling services similar to Wanner; comparable mid-sized specialist in the Swiss market.

Broad incumbents

• AFRY (formerly Pöyry/AF-Consult): Large international engineering and consulting group with significant Swiss operations covering environmental, geotechnical, and infrastructure services; competes for larger Swiss mandates and offers broader capabilities than Wanner.
• Basler & Hofmann AG: Major Swiss engineering consultancy with environmental, geotechnical, and infrastructure practices; competes for larger and more complex projects while overlapping in Baugrund and environmental assessment services.
• CSD Ingenieure AG: Swiss engineering firm with environmental, geology, and water practices overlapping Wanner's contaminated site, groundwater, and Baugrund offerings; operates at significantly larger scale across multiple cantons.

Regional players
