Teccon GmbH & Co. KG

What Teccon GmbH & Co. KG does

Teccon GmbH & Co. KG (legal entity: TECCON Consulting & Engineering GmbH) is an independent German engineering services provider founded in 1975 and headquartered in Hamburg, with 11 locations across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and a workforce of approximately 350 engineers, technicians, economists, and computer scientists. The company regained independence in early 2019 through a management buy-out led by current Managing Directors Bernd Büngener and Hartmut Schloh, separating from the Altran Group, and expanded further with the acquisition of kontech GmbH in early 2020.

The firm operates through eight service divisions covering shipbuilding (TECCON sea), aerospace (TECCON air, holding EASA Part 21J design organization approval EASA.21J.617), automotive and passive vehicle safety (TECCON mobility, including the Passive Safety Center in Austria with Euro NCAP accreditation and HV-3 certification), mechanical and plant engineering (TECCON contec, inherited from kontech), energy systems including hydrogen (TECCON energy), IT and software (TECCON dev), technical documentation (TECCON tecdox with a proprietary QR-code mobile app), and digital engineering / 3D scanning / VR-AR / low-code (TECCON h2erd, branded as beone). Core proprietary technologies include the H2-FINITY hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system (maiden flight November 8, 2024), the Passive Safety Center crash and HV testing rigs (operational for 25+ years), and the tecdox documentation platform.

The business model is predominantly professional services revenue, supplying qualified engineering and project specialists to enterprise clients on flexible staffing engagements to cover order peaks or staff challenging development projects, supplemented by testing services (Euro NCAP, HV, crash) and hardware revenue from universal impactor test systems (now distributed in North America through Calspan). R&D activity is partly funded through public programs (H2-FINITY, HYDRO-BUNNY, AERO-SH, FD3D) with academic partners such as TU Hamburg and Kiel University of Applied Sciences. Customers are enterprise-scale across the named verticals, with the company reporting more than 200 well-known customers following the 2020 kontech acquisition. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
