8.2 Ingenieurpartnerschaft Obst & Ziehmann expands its geographical reach and wins orders for technical consultancy services around the globe.

The internationalization strategy of 8.2 Ingenieurpartnerschaft Obst & Ziehmann (8.2) was launched in 2012 and now shows growing success.

The independent experts for wind and solar energy initially established operations in South Africa and Chile.

Today, the engineers of 8.2 support renewable energy projects in Brazil, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Kazakhstan, as well as projects in several European countries. As a result, activities in non-European countries already contribute to more than 50% of the total sales volume in 2014. The scope of services covered by 8.2 ranges from feasibility studies to tendering assistance (EPC Selection), quality assurance during project implementation (Owner’s Engineer) and project financing support (Lender’s Engineer).
