What Masuch und Olbisch Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH Beratende Ingenieure für das Bauwesen does

Masuch + Olbrisch Ingenieurgesellschaft für das Bauwesen mbH (operating as the M+O Firmengruppe) is a privately held German engineering consulting firm headquartered in Oststeinbek near Hamburg, founded in 1960 by Dipl.-Ing. Dietrich Masuch and operating continuously for over 60 years. The group is organised as a parent entity with four wholly-owned subsidiaries: M+O Bremen GmbH (1989), M+O Immissionsschutz GmbH (2003), M+O Rhein-Ruhr GmbH (2010), and M+O Projektkontor GmbH (2016). Service offerings span traffic infrastructure planning (roads, cycle routes, public-transport facilities across HOAI phases 1–8), water management and hydraulic engineering, construction supervision and Bauoberleitung, aviation facility planning, road-safety audits, conceptual traffic planning, and digitization/BIM coordination, alongside the noise-immission protection and project-stewardship/communication work carried out by the specialised subsidiaries.

The firm is staffed by approximately 40 engineers at its Oststeinbek headquarters, with smaller teams in Bremen (8) and Dortmund (4), and uses industry-standard engineering software (AutoCAD, Civil3D, RIB iTWO, SoundPLAN) together with an in-house BIM/digitization team. Revenue is generated exclusively through HOAI-regulated professional-services fees billed against multi-year project contracts, with the public sector — particularly the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg and its district authorities (Bezirksamt Altona, Bezirksamt Hamburg-Mitte, LSBG), IBA Hamburg GmbH, Flughafen Hamburg GmbH and other North-German municipalities — constituting the dominant customer base; named commercial clients are limited to a single logistics-terminal engagement.

The current leadership team comprises three managing directors (Geschäftsführung): Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Michael Hohmann (shareholder since 2012), B. Eng. Cüneyt Ates (managing shareholder since January 2024) and Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Marco Armgort (managing shareholder since August 2025), all registered consulting engineers with the Architects and Engineers Chamber of Schleswig-Holstein. The group markets itself through content (M+O Blog), the Hamburger Bautag career fair (10th consecutive participation in 2026), and Girls'/Boys' Day, with no disclosed external equity, venture investment, or M&A activity.
