About Ingenieurgemeinschaft IgH
Ingenieurgemeinschaft IgH is an engineering office founded in 1995 and headquartered in Essen. The company, with around 20 employees, develops and manufactures custom test rigs for individual components and systems, automates plants, and manufactures mechatronic system components as well as prototypes. Its range of services covers analysis, conception, development, design, manufacturing, commissioning and operational support, plus calculation and simulation (structural FE), software development for measuring, control, regulation and networking (EtherCAT/EtherLab), as well as expert reports, feasibility studies and requirements specification creation. A focus lies in general mechanical engineering, in particular hydraulic drive and control technology. Customers come from industrial automation, automotive, avionics, hydraulics and mining/tunneling technology, including Aker Wirth and Rio Tinto. At the Essen site, in addition to offices, test halls with workshops and technical laboratories are available for prototype construction, test work and the assembly of test rigs. Since 01.10.2024, IgH has been part of AXXERON Technologies GmbH.
