Mechanical and plant engineering is strongly characterized by medium-sized companies as one of the most innovative industrial sectors and a key driver of Industry 4.0. We support you from strategy to operational logistics.

Since the development of the steam engine and its technical advancement in 1712, the mechanical engineering sector has developed into one of the most important branches of industry in Germany and now employs over a million people. In addition to the largest machine builders, such as the companies Bosch Rexroth and the Claas Group, there are well over 6,000 other, mainly medium-sized machine builders in Germany, which are integrated into various sub-sectors such as plant construction or agricultural technology.

The dynamic development of digitization and the associated changes in the market also require changes from companies with a long, traditional company history. Overall, Industry 4.0 places new demands on the construction of plants and machines, which means that this industry will become increasingly digitized in the coming years and will fundamentally change the way of working and jobs.

In the procurement of production materials and the sale of its products, the modern machine builder is usually internationally positioned. Accordingly, the requirements for the supply chain often turn out to be extremely complex. Strong fluctuations in sales volumes and global supply chains are part of day-to-day business. Our abillity to be flexible is of primary importance for this type of industry.
