Rse+ Gmbh

What Rse+ Gmbh does

RSE+ is a privately held German professional services group headquartered in Kassel that provides architecture, structural engineering, factory and logistics planning, and supply chain/production network design from a single source. The group operates through three core entities: RSE+ Architekten Ingenieure GmbH (architecture and engineering for commercial, industrial, healthcare, educational, and public buildings, delivered through the full Leistungsphasen 2-9), RSE+ Fabrik Logistik GmbH (factory layout, logistics concept, process optimization, relocation planning, and visualization/simulation), and the 2021-founded RSE+ Netzwerk Produktion GmbH in Hamburg (supply chain design, manufacturing footprint planning, and machine investment advisory). Services are delivered by roughly 100+ specialists across four German offices (Kassel HQ since 1990, Stuttgart since 2016, Göttingen since 2021, Hamburg as the newest location), supported by BIM (Autodesk Revit), Emulate 3D/Demo 3D, Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, and Virtual Reality planning tools.

The firm's commercial model is project-based professional services: fees are individually negotiated per engagement, with work secured through direct enterprise sales, competitive bidding (notably VgV/Vergabeverfahren for public sector), repeat engagements with anchor clients, and industry events such as CPHI Frankfurt. Marquee customers include B. Braun, Volkswagen, Porsche, Airbus, Lindt & Sprüngli, Jenoptik, Rohde & Schwarz, Viessmann, EDEKA Hessenring, Aesculap, Wortmann, Vishay Siliconix, and Rommelag, spanning pharmaceutical/medtech, automotive, aerospace, electronics, semiconductors, retail/logistics, F&B, and climate-tech end markets. RSE+ holds ISO 9001:2015 (since 2010) and ISMS (2024) certifications and reports 2,500,000 sqm of built area and 500+ completed factory/logistics projects across its history. Ownership rests with founding partners and managing directors (Stefan Stiegel, Lukas Holzinger, Gregor Brune, Andreas Heyer, Paul Seidel, Jens Schmelter, Karin Knobloch), with no disclosed institutional or private equity backing.

• 4flow: German supply chain and logistics consultancy with transportation, network design, and warehouse planning practices. Direct peer for RSE+ Netzwerk Produktion and parts of RSE+ Fabrik Logistik.
• Körber Supply Chain: German supply chain and manufacturing technology provider including consulting, WMS, and network design. Most directly comparable to RSE+ Netzwerk Produktion's supply chain design offering.
• Drees & Sommer: German engineering consultancy with deep factory planning, real estate consulting, and architecture practices. Closest large-scale competitor to RSE+ in the German industrial and pharma planning market.
• Assmann Beraten + Planen: German architecture and engineering firm with comparable industrial, commercial, and healthcare building portfolio. Directly competes for mid-market German A&E engagements alongside RSE+.

Regional players

• HPP Architekten: German architecture firm with corporate, healthcare, and public building focus. Comparable in cultural fit and project types but without RSE+'s factory/logistics planning depth.

Emerging players

• ARC Advisory Group: Industrial transformation and factory automation advisory with EMEA presence. Comparable in advising manufacturers on plant modernization and digital manufacturing strategy.

Broad incumbents

• Sweco: European engineering, architecture, and environmental consultancy with German subsidiaries. Broader incumbent competing in adjacent industrial and infrastructure planning engagements.
• Arcadis: Global design, engineering, and consultancy firm with substantial German operations. Competes for larger industrial and pharma projects where RSE+ is currently sub-scale.
