Margin lives in the operating model.

Romanian and regional manufacturers face cost pressure, M&A and the shift to lower-carbon, circular production at once. The strategy is rarely the bottleneck - delivering it through the operating model, the cost base and the team is.

Industrial and manufacturing

Our point of view

What we see across the sector

  1. Cost competitiveness is a moving target. Energy, labour and procurement costs reset margins every year - the operating model has to keep pace, not just the budget.
  2. M&A and carve-outs are won in execution. Integrations and separations succeed or fail on operating-model design, key-position allocation and disciplined milestone management.
  3. Circular, lower-carbon production is reshaping plants, supply chains and the skills the management team needs to run them.
Where we play - OPERATING MODEL · COST · M&A / CARVE-OUT

How we help industrial clients

We redesign the operating model around clear P&Ls and an achievable cost base, then install it on the floor - not just in the deck. Diagnostics move to a point of view fast; delivery runs on a cadence the plant can sustain after we leave.

Because the people questions decide whether change lasts, we pair transformation with leadership and search - protecting core capability through carve-outs, integrations and turnarounds.
