The path to an optimal industrial footprint
Rethinking global value creation – in a time of geopolitical upheaval, regulatory requirements and growing ESG responsibility.
Today more than ever, a strategically aligned industrial footprint is the key to efficiency, flexibility and future viability.
With our tried-and-tested transformation approach, we accompany companies on precisely this path – in a structured, measurable and effective manner.
Our consulting approach
Three phases for sustainable effects
Our strategic realignment of the industrial footprint is based on a three-stage transformation process that ensures both short-term optimization and long-term competitiveness.
From initial screening to successful transformation.

Phase 1 – Industrial Footprint Screening
It all starts with clarity: We analyze your existing production and supply network across all relevant areas of the value chain – from R&D to purchasing and production to logistics.This phase lays the foundation for a targeted realignment and creates clarity about the areas of action that offer the greatest added value for your company.
Objectives of the screening phase:
- Identification of strengths, weaknesses and structural bottlenecks
- Identification of cost drivers, redundancies and emission sources
- Alignment with strategic corporate goals and ESG requirements
- Prioritisation of relevant fields of action based on reliable data
The result: An objective, holistic picture of the situation and a clear basis for further action.
Phase 2 – Industrial Footprint Re-design
Based on the findings of the screening, we jointly develop a future-oriented target image. Our re-design is scenario-based, modular and always with a view to feasibility and cost-effectiveness. It also makes it possible to identify and prioritize measures that are necessary along the way.
The content of the re-designs:
- Development of footprint scenarios taking into account costs, CO₂, flexibility and market proximity
- Definition of the optimal location, capacity and role structure
- Evaluation of relocation potentials, plant roles, make-or-buy options
- Derivation of realistic roadmaps including business case and implementation sequence
The result: A strategically sound target image with concrete levers for implementation.
Phase 3 – Industrial Footprint Transformation
The final transformation phase focuses on the operational implementation of the redesign and the sustainable implementation of the new structures.
With our broad technical expertise and strong implementation skills, we can provide tailored support for your individual transformation program.
Our implementation services:
- Program and project management
- Change and stakeholder management
- Realization of site relocations, plant conversions or network adjustments
- Monitoring target achievement based on clearly defined KPIs
The result: An industrial footprint that meets strategic requirements – and works operationally.
