ILF Consulting Engineers
The Company was established by Mr. P. Lsser in Innsbruck, Austria in 1967
In 1969 Mr. A. Feizlmayr joined the company, which became Ingenieurgemeinschaft Lsser-Feizlmayr (ILF), second office in Munich, Germany
Today ILF is a leading international, multidisciplinary engineering and consulting firm (100% privately owned)
