OHMI

What OHMI does

ÖHMI Aktiengesellschaft (ÖHMI AG) is a German privately-held stock corporation headquartered in Magdeburg, operating as a diversified Testing, Inspection, Certification (TIC) and facility services group through multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries. Founded in 1950 as the Zentrallabor der Öl- und Margarineindustrie (Central Laboratory of the Oil and Margarine Industry), the company was privatized via management buy-out in 1990 and converted into its current AG structure with spun-off operating divisions in 1999. Today it delivers laboratory analytics, quality assurance and process management, management system certification, facility management, and proprietary plant oil technology engineering across food, real estate, agriculture, healthcare, energy, construction, industrial, and public-sector buyers primarily in Germany and Europe (with operations in Bulgaria).

The product portfolio is delivered through ÖHMI Analytik GmbH (food, water, environmental, microbiological, agricultural and pharmaceutical laboratory analytics under DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 and GLP accreditation, plus the annual INSECTA conference), ÖHMI EuroCert GmbH (management system certification including ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 45001, 50001 alongside sector schemes such as GMP+, GTP COCERAL, REDcert, AZAV, and Entsorgungsfachbetrieb verification as an authorized Technische Überwachungsorganisation), ÖHMI Service GmbH (real estate and facility services including cleaning, garden/landscape maintenance, winter services, pest control, janitorial and sports field services), and ÖHMI Innovation GmbH (engineering of patented plant oil processing technologies, including ÖHMI bleach and ÖHMI compact systems).

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service professional engagements (per-test or per-project laboratory analytics), recurring management system certification and surveillance audits, consulting and training fees (HACCP, hygiene, ISO implementation), contractual facility services, and engineering/licensing arrangements for plant oil technology. The go-to-market is direct enterprise and mid-market field sales via the operating subsidiaries, supported by industry events (INSECTA conference, ZIA Tag der Immobilienwirtschaft), training and seminar programs, and a presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube. Geographic coverage spans Magdeburg, Berlin, Hamburg, Norderstedt, Munich, and Bulgaria. The company has been climate-neutral certified since 2021, and in 2022 it co-founded CERTANIA Holding GmbH as a dedicated TIC group holding structure to support inorganic expansion.
