Consulting for the printing and packaging industry
The challenges facing the various segments of our industry are complex. Whether it’s declining print volumes, process automation, sustainable production, or the shortage of skilled workers, these issues are multifaceted and, at the same time, vary greatly in importance depending on the specific context.
That is why our consulting services focus on four key drivers of success that will decisively shape and transform our industry today and in the future. Together with you, we develop pragmatic solutions that take your specific situation into account and deliver measurable results.
Consolidation
Your Challenge
The market is undergoing a realignment, raising fundamental questions: Is it time to hand over your life’s work to new hands? Is now the moment to actively grow through acquisitions? How do I pass my business on to the next generation? Does partnering with colleagues make sense?
What we offer
As part of our M&A advisory services, we bring buyers and sellers together, manage the transaction from start to finish for one or both parties, and provide support during post-merger integration. We also help you find suitable successors and establish partnerships with fellow businesses or other partners.
Profitability
Your Challenge
Returns and cash flow are the foundation of your freedom to act—but the path to achieving them is becoming increasingly challenging. Declining revenue and rising costs are putting pressure on your bottom line. Whether it’s about tapping into new revenue streams or boosting efficiency, there is no longer a single solution that instantly fixes everything. More often than not, it takes many small steps to ultimately achieve the desired result.
What we offer
We help you increase revenue, for example through “value selling” or strategic asset deals. We boost efficiency in your production or administration using LEAN methods or process digitization to reduce costs. We create transparency by implementing planning and control systems. And we actively support you in crisis situations.
Transformation
Your Challenge
Sustainability, digitalization, and innovation. These are the issues that pose particular challenges for companies in the printing and packaging industry today. Changes to the product portfolio driven by the PPWR, the use of AI in sales, or the introduction of automated processes in post-press operations are complex projects that come with unique requirements.
What we offer
We work with you to develop goals for sustainability, digitalization, and innovation, formulate pragmatic strategies, and implement them together with you. In this way, we integrate new products, new technologies, and new ways of working into your company to ensure your long-term competitiveness.
Organization
Your Challenge
Every change stands or falls with the people involved. Whether you’re streamlining structures after a growth spurt or trying to re-motivate a team after years of routine: when internal dynamics stall, the entire company suffers. The goal is to clarify responsibilities so that collaboration becomes enjoyable again and the strategy doesn’t fail due to rigid hierarchies or unclear processes. Are you looking for a headhunter, organizational developer, or coach to help you with this?
What we offer
We design organizations where people enjoy working and are effective. We listen, facilitate, and build structures that fit your size and culture. We find the right people for your company. We develop leaders and teams so that change is supported collectively. We ensure that your organization doesn’t just function on paper, but drives your success every day as a vibrant and high-performing community.
