Market challenges
After a strong economic year in 2019, stable conditions will come to an end throughout Europe. Since 2018, industrial companies specialising in exports have seen rapid changes in the order books. Economic problems come with structural challenges in digitization and internationalization in both purchasing and sales and rising costs are a burden, regardless of the lack of qualified employees. The economic outlook remains highly risky in the interim.
We recommend our economically stable clients to adjust their annual forecasts and we provide them with a risk buffer in order to enhance financial control quickly. If necessary, we will help restructure business and operations in order to stabilize forecasts.

Working hands-on by your side until stabilization and value is assured.

Finally, we monitor risks and progress including tracking identified risks, identifying potential new risks, and evaluating risk mitigation effectiveness.
