About ALTHOM
ALTHOM GmbH, founded in 2010 in Hamburg, is an engineering service provider for analysis, design, technical data and integrated logistics support. Core services include structural analysis of metallic and fibre-composite components (static, dynamic, fatigue, damage tolerance, thermal, flow), 3D design through to manufacturing drawings, as well as strength and substantiation reports. The company also produces technical documentation to S1000D and ATA iSpec 2200 (CMM, SRM, AMM, IPC, among others), technical illustration, publishing including its own software ALTHOM Publisher, and ILS and LSA analyses such as LORA, RAM, LCC and obsolescence management. Further disciplines include structural engineering to Eurocode and AISC as well as electrical engineering with control cabinet construction and PLC/SCADA programming. Customer segments are aerospace, defence, energy including wind energy, marine/shipbuilding and mechanical engineering. Project management, quality management and software development are based in Hamburg; engineering and development services are provided by the affiliated ALTHOM Engineering E.P.E. in Patras (Greece). Both sites are certified under a joint EN 9100 and ISO 9001 certificate (Several Sites).

Quality & Certification
The quality management system of both sites is certified under a joint certificate (Several Sites) to EN 9100:2018 and DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 by TÜV NORD CERT (valid until 12.05.2028). Results are reviewed against the applicable standard and, where scope warrants, by a second engineer, with traceability from the result back to the input.
