Mechanical & plant engineering

As a manufacturer of innovative production equipment for the manufacturing industry, mechanical and plant engineering forms the core of the German capital goods industry. The main competitive advantage of German manufacturers lies in the quality of their products, technology, problem-solving expertise, reliability, delivery reliability and after-sales service.

Mechanical and plant engineering is characterized by individual and small series production. Only in a few sectors are standardized products manufactured in large series. The highly customer-oriented production can lead to a dependency on only a few major customers, especially for SMEs. At the same time, the usually rather long-term project duration of production is only secured if the company has a sound financial basis.

In addition, this sector is particularly experiencing the need to adapt to market changes in times of globalization, climate change and resource scarcity. We support you in using these challenges as opportunities for your company – whether as part of a buy and build strategy to develop new resources and markets, the realignment of sales activities or the successful recruitment of specialists.

Project excerpt

Sale of special vehicles

The family-run mechanical engineering company had established itself as a world-renowned supplier for manufacturers of special vehicles. The third generation in the company management planned to sell the company for personal reasons. Due to its technical expertise and commercial success, initial purchase offers had already been received from market competitors. The seller contacted omegaconsulting to assist him in evaluating the most suitable takeover solution for the family and throughout the entire sales process.

omegaconsulting identified and qualified the successful medium-sized company (turnover of just under EUR 4 million) for the management buy-in project sought by the omegaconsulting client and supported the successor in the purchase process. Targeted process management and close communication with the owner proved to be particularly critical criteria for success.

As part of the expansion of the second management level, omegaconsulting supported the medium-sized company in filling the newly created position. The decision in favor of omegaconsulting as a project partner was based in particular on the technical expertise and the extensive and industry-relevant network of the management.

Expansion support for an international packaging technology company

To expand its business activities in German-speaking countries, the entrepreneur from the Benelux region planned to acquire medium-sized companies in the packaging machinery and materials sector. The international background of the omegaconsulting consulting team as well as the industry expertise in mechanical and plant engineering were decisive for the cooperation in the context of the expansion project.
