- Bertrandt AG Bertrandt Aktiengesellschaft is a leading engineering services provider specializing in the development of individual solutions for the automotive, aviation, aerospace, mechanical and plant engineering, electronics, energy, medical technology, and Smart Industry sectors. Founded in 1974 and headquartered in Ehningen, Germany, the company employs approximately 14,000 people across more than 50 locations worldwide, including Germany, other European countries, the United States, Asia, and Africa. It operates through key segments including Digital Engineering, Physical Testing, and Electronics Systems, offering comprehensive services from conceptual design and product development to simulation, prototyping, testing, production planning, software development, project management, quality assurance, and HR consulting; core expertise encompasses vehicle components such as interiors, exteriors, powertrains, chassis, and bodies, as well as trending areas like autonomous systems, digitalization, e-mobility, ADAS, UX design, alternative drives, system integration, and smart factory solutions.
Bertrandt AG serves primarily OEMs and suppliers in the mobility sector, with a focus on accelerating technological progress through customer-centric, interconnected engineering processes that span the entire product lifecycle from concept to mass production and end-of-life management.
In recent years, the company has pursued an aggressive M&A strategy as an integral part of its growth plans, completing four key acquisitions over the last two years including Philotech (2025, strengthening expertise in mega-trends like digital mobility across Germany, France, and Spain), evopro systems engineering AG (expanding automotive services), Concept AG (2023, for approximately EUR 9.1 million), and Centum Digital (2024 from CENTUM SOLUTIONS, S.L.U.); these moves broaden technical skills, deepen customer relationships, enhance global delivery capabilities, and improve cooperation networks in engineering and IT. Additionally, Bertrandt opened a new location in Istanbul in April 2025 to expand its global network, presented an autonomous shuttle project (BumbleB) for sustainable mobility on Mainau Island in November 2025, and continues implementing its "Fit for Future" earnings optimization program amid challenging automotive market conditions. The company maintains operations through subsidiaries integrated via these acquisitions, with no disclosed parent company.
