Jermann Ingenieure Und Geometer Ag

What Jermann Ingenieure Und Geometer Ag does

Jermann Ingenieure + Geometer AG is a Swiss surveying, geoinformation, and spatial planning firm headquartered in Arlesheim, Canton Basel-Landschaft, founded in 1952. The company operates across three locations (Arlesheim, Sissach, Zwingen) with approximately 100 employees, including 30 university-degreed geomatics engineers, 35 geomatics professionals and technicians, 11 spatial planners, and 13 apprentices. Its service portfolio spans five core areas: official surveying (Amtliche Vermessung) under government mandate, construction and engineering surveying (Bau- und Ingenieurvermessung), utility/infrastructure documentation (Werkdokumentation), geoinformation (WebGIS/Geoportal), and spatial planning (Raumplanung).

The technology stack combines field measurement hardware (29 Leica total stations, 3 Leica MS50 multistations, 18 GNSS units, Z+F and RTC360 laser scanners, an eBee Plus fixed-wing drone, and two DJI multicopters) with digital data platforms, including a proprietary Geoportal/WebGIS that provides 24/7 access to cadastral maps, infrastructure documentation, and 3D visualization. The firm is ISO 9001:2015 certified and operates an automated Geo-Monitoring system for building and infrastructure alerts. Customer base includes Basel-Landschaft municipalities, SBB, Roche, Novartis, Swiss Re, UBS, and BLT, among others.

The business model is anchored by government-mandated official surveying contracts with Basel-Landschaft municipalities (recurring and protected), supplemented by project-based construction surveying for enterprise clients and a self-service online portal for plan and data sales. Pricing follows official cantonal fee regulations (GeoGV) with fixed transaction fees (CHF 150 base + CHF 10 per dataset), hourly professional service rates, and multi-year infrastructure documentation contracts. Following a 2022 management buy-out from BKW AG, the company is now fully owned and controlled by its management team.

Others

• Leica Geosystems AG (Hexagon AB): Leading manufacturer of surveying instruments (total stations, GNSS, laser scanners, drones) that Jermann uses extensively in its fleet. Not a service competitor but a key technology enabler whose product roadmap shapes Jermann's operating economics.
• Trimble Inc. Global provider of surveying hardware, software (e.g., Trimble Access, Business Center), and geospatial solutions. Not a direct service competitor but a technology enabler and potential disruptor via autonomous and software-defined surveying workflows.
• swisstopo (Federal Office of Topography): Swiss federal agency responsible for official geodata, cadastral standards, and national mapping. Sets the regulatory and data standards within which Jermann operates its official surveying mandate and provides base geospatial data Jermann builds upon.

Direct peers

• Gruner AG: Swiss engineering firm with strong surveying, construction support, and infrastructure capabilities. Comparable in serving construction firms, municipalities, and infrastructure projects in Switzerland.
• Basler & Hofmann AG: Swiss engineering consultancy with surveying, spatial planning, and infrastructure services serving public and private clients. Highly comparable offering in surveying and municipal infrastructure with a similar mix of regulated and project-based revenue.
• CSD Ingenieure AG: Swiss engineering firm providing surveying, geomatics, infrastructure, and environmental services. Comparable in delivering official surveying and geoinformation to public-sector clients across Swiss cantons.
• Emch+Berger Ingenieure und Planer AG: Swiss engineering and surveying consultancy offering official surveying, construction surveying, and infrastructure documentation across multiple cantons. Closely comparable full-service model and customer mix to Jermann, but with broader geographic reach across Switzerland.

Broad incumbents

• Arcadis NV: Global design, engineering, and consulting firm with Swiss operations in mobility, buildings, and infrastructure. Overlaps with Jermann on large construction surveying and infrastructure projects but at a vastly larger scale and broader portfolio.
• AFRY AB: Large European engineering and design consultancy with Swiss operations covering infrastructure, surveying, and digital twin services. Operates at much larger scale than Jermann but competes for the same enterprise and public-sector surveying contracts.
• WSP Global Inc. Global professional services firm with significant Swiss presence offering engineering, surveying, and project management. Competes with Jermann for large enterprise and infrastructure clients such as Roche and Novartis.
