Strategy & Markets

"Strategy, markets, customers, investments, technical adaptations, profitability analysis, all linked, have you ever seen this before?"

Quite a unique offer - Strategy consulting and new markets support linked with technical solutions for Glass Industry.

 

This is a true, complete pack.

 

It is not important who is first, the egg or the chicken.

You can drive from investment needs and we help you to get the markets, or you define with us new market strategies and we support your technical adaptations.
 

But it is not “just” strategy, SWOT´s and competitors. It is also about important data you'll need to run your business in an efficient and profitable way.

 

Many companies (as well outside our industry) are struggling with their profitability analysis of models, production-lines, job-change costs, optimal lot-size,…
 

We are helping you with smart calculation tools, to help you identify your winners and losers products, compare different production lines, segments, explore target pricing and much more.

This is not rocket science, but we know from our own experience how difficult it can get day-by-day.
