Founded


From early insights in structural and geotechnical engineering, the firm’s trajectory has been driven by continuous technical and organizational evolution. Consolidation within Italian and European markets transformed the original associated studio into a complex engineering entity. This growth process involved integrating new specialized expertise and adopting advanced methodologies, successfully meeting design challenges on an ever-increasing scale. Thus, solid roots in the past have become the foundation for redefining the operational boundaries of contemporary engineering.

The transition to HB is a deliberate evolutionary transformation: it synthesizes thirty years of solid history into a more dynamic, international, and streamlined identity.
The shift from Holzner&Bertagnolli Engineering to the HB brand marks the culmination of this evolution: a transformative process driven to align the corporate image with the complexity of global markets. This evolutionary step encapsulates decades of technical expertise within a leaner, more dynamic, and international profile. Shortening the name means focusing on the essence: uniting the founders’ heritage with a contemporary engineering approach, capable of shaping the skyline of the future through digital synthesis, parametric modeling, and numerical precision.
HB’s future vision anticipates tomorrow’s challenges through predictive and resilient engineering. By leveraging Digital Engineering and Lifecycle Design, we design structures capable of ensuring safety, durability, and a tangible positive impact on local areas and communities.

We look to the future through predictive and resilient engineering, where digital innovation and Lifecycle Design shape safe and sustainable spaces.
