This merger creates one of the largest engineering and consulting service providers in Germany and in the world
Munich, 21. December 2012 – The stock exchange listed and internationally renowned engineering service company Altran Group has acquired IndustrieHansa Consulting & Engineering GmbH. The combination of these two companies will create a service group which is one of the largest service providers in the world and Germany specialising in high-tech engineering and consulting. Both companies have accumulated more than 30 years of engineering expertise. Together with Altran, which is present in Germany with a workforce of around 1,000 at 12 locations, 3,000 employees will in future provide engineering and consulting services here. Worldwide, Altran has a workforce of around 20,000 and achieves sales of 1.5 billion euros.
„In the past 5 years IndustrieHansa, with the support of Findos, has undergone a formidable development. All strategic goals – such as top 10 in Germany or E2S supplier – have been attained. After this impressive phase in the company’s development it was time to set new goals and to pay due attention to the state of consolidation and the internationalisation of our business. Through the merger with Altran we have already achieved our objective of becoming by 2017 one of the top 5 engineering and consulting service providers in Germany. It will now be the management team’s task to forge ahead with the company’s operative development, the aim being to become one of the top 3 in Germany in the next few years“, stressed Uwe Hihn, CEO of IndustrieHansa Consulting & Engineering GmbH.
Together with Altran, IndustrieHansa is now extremely well placed strategically in the aviation domain and, it can consolidate its E2S supplier status at EADS and Airbus and expand the business further. In the automotive sector IndustrieHansa will also be able in future to do more for its customers over the whole product creation process. This is because the fusion will create a division with a worldwide presence and sales of more than 400 million euros. And in the energy sector, IndustrieHansa profits from the globally positioned service infrastructure of Altran.
„We are happy about the merger with IndustrieHansa since both companies fit perfectly together. With their focus on the high-tech engineering and consulting business in the automotive, aviation and energy sectors, both companies set great store by long-term customer relations with a high standard of quality and they offer a service mix comprising consultancy and development services over the whole product creation process, from the implementation of PLM and IT systems with the related training, development projects in the fields of mechanics and electronics, through to production planning and the related logistical processes“, explains Philippe Salle, Chairman of the Altran Group.
