What ATB SA Ingénieurs-conseils SIA suisse.ing does

ATB SA is a privately held Swiss civil engineering consulting firm headquartered in Moutier (canton of Bern), founded in 1957 as ATB Allemand, Tièche et Badertscher and reorganized as a société anonyme in 1994. The firm provides multidisciplinary engineering services across eight core practice areas: roads and traffic, hydraulics, structures and works, waste disposal and quarries, underground works, territorial planning, SIT/GIS, and railway works. It operates from eight offices across Western Switzerland (Moutier, Tramelan, Saignelégier, Courgenay, Delémont, Laufen, Saint-Imier, and the newly opened Crissier) and employs 37 staff, with each branch managed by a designated lead.

The firm's customer base is dominated by Swiss public-sector clients — cantonal authorities (Bern, Jura), federal railway (CFF/SBB), municipalities, and water/wastewater utilities — supplemented by a smaller group of private industrial clients such as Sonceboz SA. Notable project experience includes the A16 highway corridor (Choindez Tunnel, Bure Tunnel), cantonal road projects, flood protection and river revitalization schemes, and railway station modernization (including Moutier station in 2025). The firm historically grows through organic branch openings and the 2007 acquisition of Erard Sàrl in Delémont, and it holds a minority stake in Polaris³ SA, which provides proprietary GIS and territorial information system capabilities for public infrastructure management.

ATB's business model is professional services engagement on a project-quotation basis, with revenue derived from fees for feasibility studies, planning, project management, and construction supervision. Go-to-market is direct and relationship-driven, leveraging SIA and suisse.ing professional memberships and deep regional presence in the Jura-Bernese arc. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts are awarded via public procurement given the public-sector customer mix. The firm is independently owned with no parent company, no external investment, and no public listing.
