Competent contact for major international projects

Patzold, Köbke Engineers GmbH & Co. KG, PKE for short, is a renowned engineering company that convinces through professional competence, reliability and communication skills. From the very beginning, we have made it our business to offer our customers a diversified portfolio in the fields of project management, exploration onshore & offshore, permit planning, dredging and opencast mining on rocks and soils as well as engineering consulting and explosive ordnance detection. Because this is exactly where we can convince with decades of know-how.

Anyone can do 0815, but we look beyond the end of our noses and see the big picture in order to provide our customers with comprehensive advice and suggest the best possible solutions for their projects. In doing so, we accompany you from the enquiry, through processing and execution, to after-sales service, because we have the ambition to work with our customers on a long-term and sustainable basis. We can now look back on a large number of worldwide projects and well-known customers, because our philosophy is to master challenges with ambition and commitment.

The PKE GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 2015 by the two managing directors Valesca Köbke-Patzold and Dr.-Ing. Köbke in the third generation as an owner-managed company, originally founded in 1945 by Dipl.-Ing. Franz Patzold in Hildesheim and continued by Dr.-Ing. Volker Patzold in Hamburg in 1984. In 2016 we expanded our portfolio by acquiring the Hamburg-based company SPE GmbH & Co. KG, which focuses on automation and excavation control in dredging, as a sister company. Meanwhile, in addition to our company headquarters in Buchholz and Hamburg, we also have project locations in Bremen, Berlin, Lubmin and Marne and have already quadrupled our team since the takeover in 2015.
