AGENS Engineering GmbH

What AGENS Engineering GmbH does

AGENS Engineering GmbH is a German private limited company (GmbH) founded in 1995 in Ismaning near Munich, providing specialist engineering services for industrial plant construction. The company delivers consulting and concept work, process engineering, piping and layout planning, instrumentation and control (I&C), electrical engineering, process control and automation, civil/structural engineering, pipeline engineering, 3D laser scanning, and personnel staffing to enterprise clients in power generation, chemical/petrochemical, refinery, life science/biochemistry, foundry/rolling mills, and pipeline sectors. Named customers include Air Liquide, Linde Engineering, Siemens, ALSTOM, MAN Diesel & Turbo, Andritz, Voith Paper, Babcock Borsig, and Degussa. The firm operates as part of the Hegmanns Group of engineering companies.

The company's technology stack is built on industry-standard CAD/CAE platforms — AutoCAD Plant 3D, COMOS, PDMS, PDS, Smart Plant 3D, Smart Plant P&ID, ISOGEN, and EPLAN — combined with structural and process simulation tools (Ansys, Abaqus, Aspen, Caesar II, ROHR 2, ChemCAD, Staad-Pro) and automation platforms (SIMATIC PCS7, TIA Portal, ABB Freelance). A differentiator is in-house industrial 3D laser scanning using a Z+F IMAGER 5010 scanner, which generates point clouds compatible with PDMS, PDS, AutoCAD, MicroStation, and Leica Cyclone for brownfield digitization and collision-free planning.

AGENS generates revenue through two streams: project-based engineering services (fixed price, guideline price, hourly rates, or measure-up) and personnel staffing (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung) billed at agreed hourly rates against signed time sheets. Work is performed either in the company's own technical offices or on client sites, with two physical locations in Germany (Ismaning/Munich HQ and a Stuttgart branch established in 2012) and claimed worldwide service delivery since 2001. The firm is ISO 9001:2015 certified and markets through a direct enterprise field-sales motion, supported by XING and Facebook profiles for top-of-funnel awareness.
