EMUTEC

What EMUTEC does

Assmann Emutec GmbH is a German engineering firm and general planner headquartered in Norderstedt in the Hamburg metropolitan area, founded in 2002. The company specializes in Technische Gebäudeausrüstung (TGA), or technical building equipment, providing end-to-end planning and project management across HVAC, electrical systems, plumbing, refrigeration, fire protection, telecommunications/IT, lighting, conveyor systems, and building automation. Its service portfolio follows HOAI Leistungsphasen 1-9 from initial concept through construction supervision, supported by advanced technical capabilities including Building Information Modeling (BIM), Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS)-based fire and evacuation simulations, building energy simulations for thermal and efficiency optimization, and grid calculation for electrical distribution networks via a partnership with emutec GRID SYSTEMS GmbH. The firm maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification and a suite of DIN/TÜV credentials in lighting, fire protection, and ventilation hygiene.

The firm operates a project-based professional services model, generating revenue through one-time engineering fees quoted per project based on scope, building size, and complexity rather than recurring subscriptions. Customers span three primary verticals: commercial and industrial enterprises (notably Chefs Culinar/CITTI Group for a 25,000m² wholesale warehouse modernization), educational institutions (Ernst-Moritz-Arndt Universität Greifswald for a €26.5 Mio EUR combined new-build including library, lecture halls, and cafeteria with €6.2 Mio EUR TGA scope), and municipal/public sector clients (Stadt Weilheim i. OB for a €2.3 Mio EUR timber modular childcare facility). Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise engagement, tender participation, and relationship-based project acquisition, with no dedicated sales force or paid marketing channels — visibility is limited to a corporate website and professional social profiles on LinkedIn, XING, and Instagram.

As of April 2026, Assmann Emutec became part of Assmann Beraten + Planen through a Betriebsübergang (transfer of business), with all employees transitioning into the new organizational structure. The controlling entity is BKW Engineering AG, based in Bern, Switzerland, positioning the firm within the broader BKW Group ecosystem serving energy and infrastructure clients across German-speaking markets. The company remains operational with active project engagements spanning Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Bavaria, and maintains specialized competencies in timber modular construction and grid-level energy network planning as differentiation vectors.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Drees & Sommer: Large German engineering and consulting firm specializing in construction, real estate, and infrastructure, with significant MEP/TGA planning capabilities. Competes with EMUTEC for institutional and commercial mandates but operates as a much broader full-service consultancy.
• HPP Architekten: Major German architecture practice with integrated MEP/TGA planning capabilities. Larger and broader than EMUTEC, but directly competes on combined architecture-plus-engineering public and commercial tenders.

Direct peers

• Assmann Beraten + Planen: Parent entity that absorbed Assmann Emutec GmbH in April 2026. Provides engineering and planning services across building services, infrastructure, and energy in the DACH region — direct overlap with EMUTEC's TGA general planning portfolio and now its corporate parent/sibling structure.
• Ingenieurbüro Vössing GmbH: German engineering consultancy delivering TGA, infrastructure, and energy-related planning services. Comparable in offering integrated MEP planning and general-planner roles on mid-to-large institutional building projects in Germany.
• Kempen Krause Ingenieure GmbH: German engineering firm providing structural, MEP, and building services planning for commercial and public buildings. Competes head-to-head with EMUTEC for German institutional and commercial TGA planning mandates.
• Planungsgruppe M+M AG: Specialized German MEP/TGA engineering consultancy providing HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection planning. Closely mirrors EMUTEC's HOAI Leistungsphasen 1-9 service scope across commercial and public-sector building projects.
• IGS Ingenieure GmbH & Co. KG: Mid-sized German MEP/TGA planning consultancy serving public and commercial clients. Directly comparable service portfolio (heating, ventilation, electrical, plumbing, fire protection) and project-based consulting model.
• WINTER Ingenieure GmbH: Mid-sized German engineering office specializing in technical building equipment planning, including heating, ventilation, electrical, and sanitary systems. Operates in overlapping German regional markets with a comparable general-planner positioning.
• ZWP Ingenieur-AG: German engineering firm focused on technical building services (Heizung, Lüftung, Sanitär, Elektro) planning for commercial, healthcare, and public-sector buildings. Directly comparable to EMUTEC in HOAI-based TGA general planning delivery model.

Others

• Müller-BBM GmbH: German engineering consultancy with strong building physics, acoustics, and HVAC-related planning capabilities. Adjacent rather than direct — overlaps on building-services engineering but is differentiated by its measurement and testing expertise.
