Chemgineering Technology GmbH

Chemgineering Technology GmbH is the operating identity of the Chemgineering Group, a consulting and planning company focused on the GxP-regulated environment. According to its own corporate portrait, the group is active worldwide and offers a full range of services — from consulting and concept studies through to turnkey solutions — for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, fine-chemical, medical-technology, cosmetics, diagnostics and food sectors. It reports more than 300 highly qualified employees in Europe and describes itself as a preferred partner for many multinational and local companies. The group's service portfolio is organised around project execution, building planning and supply engineering, and process planning. Project execution covers project management, construction management and commissioning; building planning and supply engineering covers technical building equipment (TGA), building and architecture, and building automation; process planning covers factory planning, CAD-supported plant planning, API synthesis plants, pharmaceutical production and biotechnology facilities. The company states that its know-how draws on more than 6,000 successfully executed projects. Chemgineering is headquartered in Switzerland, with Chemgineering Switzerland AG and Chemgineering Holding AG based in Münchenstein. The group operates through national entities and offices in Germany (Wiesbaden as the German head office, plus Stuttgart, Heidelberg and Leipzig), Austria (Vienna), Serbia (Novi Beograd), Poland (Gdańsk), Spain (Barcelona and Madrid) and Mexico (Mexico City). Several of the Central and Eastern European and Polish operations trade under the cgilse brand, while the Spanish and Mexican operations are linked to the IPB name. The leadership structure combines a Board of Directors — chaired by Steve Tappan, with Dr. Armin Mayer as Vice Chairman and Dr. Ernst Staehelin as Secretary — with managing directors for the national companies, including Dr. Simon Mayer (Chemgineering Switzerland AG), Peter Stromberger (Chemgineering Germany GmbH), Manuel Puerto and Carlos Nogueroles (IPB Chemgineering Spain), and Josef Kriegl and Mirko Winkler (cgilse entities). Tobias Armiri is CFO. Chemgineering positions itself as a consultant and planner in the life-sciences and chemical industries, delivering high-quality, practice-proven solutions and accompanying clients to success. It emphasises reliability, quality and a reasonable price-performance ratio, and says it must continually develop new, economic and GxP-compliant solutions in response to changing regulatory frameworks, new technologies and innovative production processes. The company is privately held and does not appear to be listed on a stock exchange.

Chemgineering's corporate history is documented in the milestones published on its own website.
