Industrial goods companies in Germany are currently facing a variety of challenges: from declining sales figures to the very high labor costs in Germany compared to other EU countries and the drastic drop in foreign investment in Germany. Urgent action is therefore required to ensure that companies can continue to hold their own on the market and secure their long-term survival.

Specifically, this involves a strategic response to the existing problems. But how exactly do companies find the right way to ensure their long-term stability? First of all, the problems are usually different for every company and therefore need to be analyzed in detail. In addition to the exogenous factors that can threaten the continued existence of a company, there are often also internal factors that have contributed to an imbalance.

This makes an experienced and unbiased view from the outside all the more important. As part of a CRO mandate, our partners become actively involved in the client company and assume responsibility for implementing the restructuring concept. This means that we don't just provide a series of recommendations for action, but also ensure that all necessary restructuring measures are implemented immediately and in a targeted manner. Our CROs are supported by our experienced team of consultants - a model that ensures the client company's immediate ability to act.

For many client companies, the first priority is to ensure short-term viability - in other words, to stabilize liquidity. This is followed by further, longer-term measures for the sustainable optimization of the company. In general, however, a company that seeks support from a CRO before an acute emergency occurs has a clear advantage. This is because the earlier inefficient processes and management errors in the company are uncovered and rectified, the more room for maneuver there is for the necessary restructuring.
