What Ingenieurbüro Niklas does

Ingenieurbüro Niklas (legal entity: Niklas Engineering & Service GmbH) is a privately held German engineering services firm founded in 2022 and headquartered in Regensburg, Bavaria. The company delivers a multi-discipline industrial engineering portfolio spanning mechanical construction (CAD across SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge, Siemens NX, Creo Parametric, and Catia v5/v6), electrical engineering and building automation planning (EPLAN P8, WSCAD), control cabinet construction, PLC programming on Siemens, Beckhoff, and Rockwell controllers via TIA Portal using IEC 61131-3, manufacturer-neutral collaborative robotics integration, factory and layout planning, and machine retrofit/modernization. A flagship Value Engineering service applies a design-to-cost methodology that the company reports has produced 20%+ manufacturing cost reductions in every second project across 50+ completed engagements.

The firm serves industrial enterprise clients across Germany — predominantly in Bavaria — including Lufthansa Technik AG, Die Autobahn GmbH des Bundes, Flottweg SE, Komax SLE GmbH & Co. KG, Christ Packing Systems, modular Automation GmbH, dosmatix GmbH, Gernep GmbH, HOVEX GmbH, UCANEO BIOTECH GmbH, SAR Electronic GmbH, Mannesmann Line Pipe GmbH, RK-tec Maschinenbau, and others in packaging, automotive, machine manufacturing, biotech, energy, and aviation MRO. A complementary training business delivers tiered CAD-Schulungen and Kostenoptimiertes Konstruieren workshops priced from EUR 799 to EUR 1,399 per attendee.

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: direct consultation booking via Calendly with the Managing Director, a 24/7 phone hotline, on-site or remote engineering delivery, and inbound from the company website and case-study references. Revenue is generated via professional services — project-based engineering work and quote-based consulting — with Value Engineering projects starting at EUR 3,000 net for simple engagements. The firm is family-owned, led by Managing Director Simon Niklas (M.Sc.) with technical direction from Walter Niklas (Dipl.-Ing. FH) for electrical engineering and Daniel Hassf\u00fcrther (M.Sc.) for mechanical construction, supported by a team of approximately 15 engineers.
