Where it all started
The „first“ Wegmann technic & consulting GmbH was founded by my uncle Dr.-Ing Hans-Joachim Wegmann. Started in 1969 as an electrical engineering & consulting firm in Hamburg / Germany, the company offered turn-key electrical automation for metals, paper, textile and marine applications worldwide until 2005.
During my Electrical Engineering studies and afterwards as a young Engineer working in the US in 1991 in the Paper Industry and later internationally for large corporations, the family business and related experience became my point of reference for excellence in engineering and plant building business.
In 2023, more than 30 years later, I started the „new“ wegmann technic & consulting firm and offer my experience in Advisory Services, Due Dilligences, Expert Witness and Board Mandates to mid-to large sized corporations, private equity investors, pension funds and international organizations.
