What INP does
INP International Projects, operating through its legal entity INP Deutschland GmbH, is a privately held German engineering services firm founded in 1989 in Speyer and now headquartered in Römerberg, Germany. The company provides specialized engineering services across the full project lifecycle — from consulting, planning, and basic/detail engineering through production monitoring, installation supervision, commissioning, and operations — to enterprise clients in the power generation, large-scale industrial construction, energy transmission and distribution, green energy, and construction and infrastructure sectors. Its service portfolio is organized around ten core competencies, including process and control engineering, energy and heat supply, instrumentation and control systems, electrical engineering, converter and drive systems, machine and welding technology, QA/QC, technical building equipment, HSE, and global mobility compliance.
The company is owner-managed and deploys more than 500 engineers and technicians across 5 German offices, 12 international subsidiaries, and a network of fiscal representatives covering Europe, Africa, North America, and Latin America. INP holds ISO 9001:2015, SCC**, SCL, and KTA 1401 (nuclear) certifications, which qualify it for safety-critical and regulated project environments. The business operates on a project-based professional services model with custom B2B quotations — pricing is not publicly disclosed — and reaches clients primarily through direct enterprise field sales, industry conferences (INP Thementage), and a regional subsidiary network. Customers are described as "sector leaders" in the international power plant and large-scale installation business, though no specific client logos are disclosed in the source material. Recent strategic activity includes a digital-innovation partnership with CibusCell (2026), new sales entities in the U.S. and Latin America, and a leadership refresh at its INP Infrastructure GmbH subsidiary.
