Maschinen- und Anlagenbau, Industriegüter

We assist clients in redefining their purpose, vision, and mission. We identify areas where they have a “right to play” and contribute deep industry expertise along with our portfolio strategy toolkit. Our proprietary “Value Driven Business Design” methodology is used to analyze value shifts and future profit pools, and to develop successful, value-driven business models for continuous adaptation and development.

Our team leverages industry knowledge and merger and acquisition (M&A) experience to help clients execute transactions successfully and enhance value. We conduct operational and commercial due diligence and adopt a holistic approach to post-merger integration. This includes culture change, operations management, customer retention, supplier integration, rationalization, and implementation support.

We provide a comprehensive management solution for turning around companies facing an imminent profit or liquidity crisis. Our services stabilize companies, secure their liquidity position, and pave the path to a profitable and sustainable future. We prioritize the development of sustainable restructuring concepts that consider market and competitive environments as well as each company’s unique situation.

We guide clients towards lasting transformation through a holistic approach tailored to their needs. This involves designing bold moves for performance leaps, co-creating the operating model and industry-leading capabilities, and facilitating change from the inside out. Whether clients seek positive disruption, trajectory shifts to get ahead, or cost improvement, we drive a successful transformation that endures.

We utilize our extensive experience, real-world examples, and industry benchmarks to develop effective organizational systems and steering mechanisms tailored to specific business needs. We assist clients in establishing transparent decision-making processes and implement accountability frameworks. By engaging clients through co-creation and design thinking we ensure sustainable organizational effectiveness.

We merge analytics and technical expertise with a deep understanding of business processes to create end-to-end solutions that realize substantial savings and facilitate profitable growth through digital business models. We maintain state-of-the-art digital tools to identify and realize efficiency potential across the value chain. We guide clients in harnessing the value from data and co-create customer-focused solutions that win.

We assist manufacturers in capturing customer value throughout the product lifecycle. Our approach encompasses targeted customer acquisition, smart pricing, and harnessing opportunities in after sales – often the greatest value pool. Our team combines practical industrial sales experience with a highly analytical approach supported by user-oriented digital tools for effective steering.

We support COOs, CTOs, and engineering VPs in adapting their organizations to ever-faster innovation cycles. These are further fueled by increasing software content and digitization which require faster time-to-market and enhanced agility. Our team can optimize development cycles, and disrupt engineering operating models to enhance competitiveness, and improve processes.

We optimize all product costs along the value chain through commercial, technical, and operational measures. Direct and indirect purchased materials represent the largest costs that need addressing to enhance operational and financial performance. Our procurement and cost reduction experts have a track record of realizing significant savings along the entire supply chain.

We support manufacturers throughout their end-to-end supply chain. We increase visibility and address critical supply chain issues to optimize earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), working capital, and customer service. We develop solutions for production challenges and prevent issues such as insufficient throughput, poor on-time delivery, and quality concerns.

We help clients identify and implement the most suitable green market strategy. This can include manufacturing parts for new green technology, participating in the hyper-growth of green technologies, or designing eco-friendly production systems. We also develop corporate sustainability roadmaps, help manage sustainability risks, and initiate cultural shifts towards sustainability across all business decisions.
