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.

After gearing their product portfolio towards rapid changes in the automotive industry, an automotive supplier was rewarded with strong order intake. However, the market then changed again, and the increasing complexity this brought posed difficulties for the supplier. We freed them from this situation with the help of a wide-ranging stabilization and optimization program. This enabled us to stabilize the company's operations and financial situation and initiate a turnaround. To make the program sustainable, we provided the company with advice over a long period of time. We continue to support them today, albeit on a much less regular basis – something we are both pleased about.

A private equity fund had a successful portfolio company in the automotive services sector and wanted to get even more out of this business model. It ordered the company to grow via acquisitions and by opening new locations. This is where we came into play, developing the entire strategy and implementation plan for the expansion. We then provided support for the crucial first few steps, from target search, due diligence and negotiations all the way to integration. We did this so thoroughly that we made ourselves surplus to requirements for the rest of the process – which was great news for our client!

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.
