A private equity fund's portfolio company in the automotive industry made a strategic acquisition as part of its growth strategy. Our challenge was to carve out the new company from its previous structure and integrate it into the new group of companies as quickly as possible. This also included a turbocharged rebranding process. We delivered a fast, lean integration and were able to ensure that the previous owner’s logo was no longer evident anywhere in the company within three months of the deal closing.

An automotive engineering service provider was looking for a strategic partner with whom they could bring a completely “turnkey” powertrain to the market. Our job was to scan the automotive engineering service provider market for our client and identify promising candidates. We reached out to eligible companies and assessed their suitability. We then worked with the client to select a favorite and provided support for the negotiations. The two automotive companies are now successfully working in tandem.

An established chemicals group wanted to expand its sales activities into the automotive industry. We recommended partnering with a provider of automotive engineering services. This enabled the client to enter into discussions with carmakers and offer their solutions at a much earlier stage, during the development process. We defined all aspects of the collaboration between both partners and steadily increased the intensity of the collaboration. Our client has been delivering their products very efficiently ever since.

Like so many companies who have expanded their geographical reach over time, an automotive supplier was suffering due to the way their production activities were distributed, with a high proportion of their activities in high-wage countries. As efficiency and competitiveness had fallen by the wayside, we developed a strategy enabling the company to consolidate their locations and drafted accompanying plans to relocate production activities and facilities. We provided intensive support for the first steps of this process and proved that our plans could actually work in practice. This built confidence in our strategy and enabled our client to complete the consolidation process themselves.
