OHB SE

OHB SE (Offshore Hochsee-Aktiengesellschaft Bremen) is a European multinational technology group and a primary systems integrator for the space and aerospace sectors. Headquartered in Germany, it functions as a Prime contractor within the space segment, designing and manufacturing small to medium-sized satellites and orbital infrastructure. Its operations cover the entire value chain from initial mission architecture and assembly to ground station operations and data processing for government and commercial clients. The organisation is a critical partner to the European Space Agency and the European Commission, having served as the industrial lead for the Galileo navigation constellation. Its portfolio includes the MTG weather satellites, the SARah radar reconnaissance system for the German armed forces, and contributions to the Ariane rocket programme. The group also develops instrumentation for lunar and planetary exploration missions, such as the Hera mission and various Earth observation projects. Prospective buyers or institutional partners should verify the specific subsidiary's lead competence, as technical expertise is distributed between OHB System AG and international branches. It is essential to confirm production slot availability at their Bremen and Oberpfaffenhofen facilities and ensure all export control requirements for dual-use space technology are met. Engagement typically requires alignment with European sovereign space requirements and specific procurement cycles.
