What ASID does

ASID GmbH is a family-owned occupational safety and fire protection consulting firm headquartered in Neuschönau, Bavaria, Germany, founded by Heinz Schönbrunner in 1994 (with operations dating to 1990 under the Kommunale Unfallversicherung Bayern mandate). The company delivers standards-based safety engineering services across occupational safety (Arbeitssicherheit per ASiG), fire protection (Brandschutz), construction site coordination (SiGeKo), CE marking, risk assessments (Gefährdungsbeurteilung), and a suite of recurring inspections covering playgrounds (DIN EN 1176/1177, DIN 79161), shelving (DIN EN 15635), fire protection equipment, municipal facilities, and DGUV V3/V4 portable electrical equipment, plus in-person training seminars including a DVR-certified motorcycle safety program. Its customer base spans 60+ named logos including municipal governments, Sparkassen savings banks, hospitals and clinics, industrial manufacturers, automotive dealerships (notably AVP Autoland across 10+ locations effective January 2025), and recreation facilities, concentrated primarily in Bavaria with a first international project executed at the German Embassy in Beijing in August 2024.

The business operates as a sales-led professional services firm with 13 employees, generating revenue through recurring safety-technology consulting subscriptions, project-based inspection fees, training seminar tuition (e.g., EUR 90/person for motorcycle training, EUR 489 for multi-day trips), and one-off consulting engagements, all priced on a quote basis. Go-to-market relies on direct outreach, on-site client visits, referrals from long-standing KUVB-anchored relationships dating to 1990, partnerships with Kreisverkehrswacht Freyung-Grafenau and adult education academies, and community engagement via charity tower run events. The firm carries no proprietary software, no external funding, and no disclosed M&A activity, positioning it as a small, relationship-driven regional specialist rather than a scaling platform.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Arbeitssicherheit Müller: Small regional German occupational safety consulting practice offering ASiG-based safety engineering to local SMEs and municipalities — illustrative of the fragmented regional competitor set that ASID competes against within Bavaria.

Broad incumbents

• TÜV Rheinland: Global TIC conglomerate with safety, fire protection, and inspection services serving industry, mobility, and public sector clients. Competes in adjacent occupational safety and building compliance segments where ASID also operates.
• DEKRA: Global TIC (testing, inspection, certification) giant with broad occupational safety, fire protection, and equipment testing services. Competes with ASID in industrial and municipal markets, but operates at much greater scale and breadth.
• VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH: Germany's leading fire protection certification and loss-prevention authority (GDV-affiliated), providing fire protection concepts, VdS-certified inspectors, and training. Overlaps with ASID's Brandschutz and fire equipment inspection lines but at much larger scale.
• Bureau Veritas Germany: International TIC group providing building inspection, fire safety, and HSE compliance services in Germany. Comparable at the enterprise/Mittelstand level but lacking ASID's regional depth in Bavarian municipalities.
• SGS Germany: Swiss-based global TIC company with a German presence in industrial testing, environmental, and safety services. Adjacent competitor for larger enterprise accounts seeking compliance and inspection support.
• TÜV SÜD: Global testing and certification group offering fire protection, building inspections, machinery safety, and DGUV-related services. Overlaps with ASID's inspection and CE marking lines as part of a much broader service portfolio.

Direct peers

• BG prevent: DGUV-affiliated occupational safety and health consulting arm, providing workplace safety, prevention programs, and DGUV Vorschrift 2 support to member companies. Directly comparable to ASID's KUVB-mandated municipal safety services.
• B·A·D Gesundheitsvorsorge und Sicherheitstechnik GmbH: Largest German provider of occupational health and safety services (Betriebsärzte, Fachkräfte für Arbeitssicherheit), directly comparable to ASID's ASiG-based safety engineering offering. Operates nationally with the same regulatory backbone (DGUV).
• wega GmbH: German occupational safety and fire protection consulting firm offering ASiG support, risk assessments, fire protection concepts, and training — closely matching ASID's full-stack safety consulting portfolio for SMEs and municipalities.
