About us
Obermeyer is an independent engineering group founded in 1958 by Dr. Leonhard Obermeyer. Over decades of continuous growth, the company has evolved from a single-engineer office into a global organisation.
Today, Obermeyer is driven by a clear ambition: to design and deliver sustainable, liveable infrastructure, buildings and urban environments worldwide.
From one engineer to a global enterprise
In 1958, Dr. Leonhard Obermeyer founded a small engineering office near Munich, Germany. With his pioneering spirit, courage, and a straightforward - at times unconventional - approach, he laid the foundation for what Obermeyer is today: a global organisation with a shared ambition to design and deliver sustainable, liveable infrastructure and urban environments worldwide. From the very beginning, innovation has been part of Obermeyer’s DNA. As early as 1967, we integrated digital technologies into our engineering. Since then, we have continuously advanced digital planning, developed industry-leading solutions, and further strengthened our focus on sustainability. Today, we continue to build on this legacy - combining engineering excellence, innovation, and responsibility to create projects that make a lasting positive impact on people, communities, and the environment.
