Restructuring and turnaround management

Regardless of whether it’s a matter of plant closures, relocations or a pure reorganisation of business activities: we create the right plan. Cost reductions and efficiency increases are possible in every company, we will find the right adjustments.

Mergers & Acquisitions

M&A is a difficult business in which a solid fact base is essential. We prepare the necessary financial fact books and integrated corporate planning as well as a comprehensive risk analysis. Once everything is on a sound basis, we manage and control the due diligence and take care of the post-merger integration. In addition to traditional mergers, we also have extensive experience with carve-outs, spin-offs and management buy-outs.

Project management

We create customised process flows for projects of all kinds and ensure that they are seamlessly set up and implemented. Whether it’s planning a project from scratch or starting an active project.

Interim Management

When key employees are suddenly absent, the aim is to replace them quickly and without any loss of efficiency. We are at your disposal for temporary replacements, with a transparent cost framework for clearly defined periods.
