Munich, July 22, 2022 – With the acquisition of Sacher GmbH, Ramboll is expanding its building construction business in Germany. The company, based in Munich and Berlin, brings expertise in structural engineering and fire protection.

The Transaction

Sacher offers services in accordance with HOAI for new buildings, revitalizations or conversions, develops complex structural solutions and carries out risk and cost assessments for real estate projects.
