GICON-Gruppe (Großmann Ingenieur Consult)

GICON-Gruppe (Großmann Ingenieur Consult) is a German engineering services group headquartered in Dresden. According to its official website, the GICON-Gruppe is a corporate association (Unternehmensverbund) of internationally active, independent engineering service providers. Its guiding principles center on sustainability in the use of resources, energy and raw materials, and on responsible risk management for a clean environment and a livable society. Innovation through research is described as a hallmark of GICON, supported by a broad network of cooperation relationships with leading research institutions. The group traces its origins to 1994, when GICON-Großmann Ingenieur Consult GmbH was founded in a Dresden attic with ten employees, with the stated goal of delivering innovative and interdisciplinary engineering services from a single source. Over the following decades it grew into a group of companies. Its official history page records that by its fifth anniversary it had completed its 1,000th order, and that a self-developed plant management software, CoCheck (ComplianceCheck), was further developed and later used by roughly half of Germany's asphalt mixing plants. Internationalization followed with a first international research contract in 2001 and a first foreign planning contract in 2002 (liquefied gas loading in Ukhta, Russia). In 2009 the group expanded through companies including Dr. Kühner GmbH, GFE Consult, BISANTECH-NUOVA and BGD GmbH, strengthening plant planning and technical informatics, reaching around 150 employees and extending its branch network in Germany and China. Today the group reports 23 locations across Germany, around 650 employees, and more than 11,258 projects handled over more than 30 years. Its service portfolio spans engineering consulting and planning, with a strong emphasis on environmental and energy-related engineering. A prominent current project is the GICON high-altitude wind turbine (GICON-Höhenwindturm), whose steel structure has been erected to heights reported at 143 meters and then 167 meters as milestones toward a world record. GICON has also emphasized sustainability commitments, including membership in the Saxony environmental and climate alliance. The brand is a private, owner-managed-style engineering group rather than a listed corporation; no public ticker or stock listing is indicated. Its identity is closely tied to its Dresden origin, its research-driven approach, and its positioning as an independent, interdisciplinary engineering service provider for a resource-conserving, green future.

The GICON-Gruppe began in 1994 with the founding of GICON-Großmann Ingenieur Consult GmbH, the first company of what would become the GICON group. According to the group's official history, it started in a Dresden attic with ten employees, occupying its first offices at Tiergartenstraße 48 in Dresden. The founding goal was clear from the outset: to provide innovative and interdisciplinary engineering services from a single source. By 1999, the company celebrated its fifth anniversary and its 1,000th order. During this period it further developed a self-developed plant management software under the name CoCheck (ComplianceCheck); about twenty years later, roughly half of the asphalt mixing plants operated across Germany were using this software, according to the group's history. The early 2000s marked a turn toward internationalization. In 2001 GICON received its first international research contract, continuing its innovation strategy, and in 2002 it realized its first planning contract abroad — liquefied gas loading in Ukhta, Russia. By 2004 the group reported more than 2,500 orders and a research cooperation with TU Dresden, extending its success story. In 2009 the group expanded significantly through the addition of companies including Dr. Kühner GmbH, GFE Consult, BISANTECH-NUOVA and BGD GmbH, strengthening its plant planning and technical informatics capabilities. At that point the group employed around 150 people, expanded its branch network within Germany and into China, and engaged in social initiatives such as support for Rollimaus e.V. Over more than 25 years of corporate history, the group states that its central focus has never been lost: services from a single source for resource-conserving treatment of the environment and for a green climate. Its official website now reports 23 locations across Germany, around 650 employees, and more than 11,258 projects handled over more than 30 years. A flagship current undertaking is the GICON high-altitude wind turbine (GICON-Höhenwindturm), whose steel structure reached 143 meters and then 167 meters as construction milestones toward a world record. The group has also extended its membership in the Saxony environmental and climate alliance, underscoring its sustainability positioning.
