What uniconsult does

uniconsult Ingenieur- & Unternehmensberatungsgesellschaft mbH is a privately held German management and engineering consulting firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Hannover, with a branch office in Munich. The company operates as a B2B professional services firm serving small, medium, and large enterprises across Germany, with international service available on request. Its stated customer base spans manufacturing, waste disposal, automotive, building materials, chemistry, cosmetics, logistics, metal and wood industry, civil engineering, services, non-profits, and government institutions.

The firm delivers three integrated service pillars. First, Managementsysteme und Organisation covers implementation and optimization of management systems across quality (ISO 9001, IATF 16949, VDA 6.3), environment (ISO 14001, EMAS), energy (ISO 50001, DIN EN 16247), occupational safety (ISO 45001), and sustainability (ISO 26000, CSRD reporting, GHG Protocol). Second, Projektmanagement provides classical, agile, and hybrid project management including PMO setup, project planning, leadership, accompaniment, and controlling. Third, Ingenieurdienstleistungen delivers engineering services for permit procedures (BImSchG, Bauanträge, WHG), occupational and plant safety, fire protection, handling of water-hazardous substances (AwSV), and deployment of operational commissioners such as Fachkraft für Arbeitssicherheit, Abfallbeauftragter, and Brandschutzbeauftragter. A training arm offers public seminars and webinars on Carbon Footprint, CSRD Wesentlichkeitsanalyse, Ökobilanzen, and Abwärmekataster, priced at €75-€150 per participant.

The underlying technology is process- and standards-based consulting rather than a software platform. The competitive edge rests on an interdisciplinary in-house team of engineers, economists, and natural scientists who hold licensed credentials (Umweltgutachter, AwSV-Sachverständiger, EIPOS-certified fire protection experts) and on 28 years of operating history. The business model is professional services: custom consulting engagements sold direct on time-and-materials or fixed-fee terms (pricing not publicly disclosed), plus a smaller transparent unit-priced seminar product. The company is founder/management-owned, with Dirk Gremmel as Managing Shareholder and Wolfgang Suhr as Member of the Management Board, operating with no external institutional capital, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A activity.
