Testimonials from the sector Machinery and plant construction

KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH

"The cooperation with EFESO in our project "European Operations Footprint" was very professional and opened up valuable perspectives for our team within a short time. I have been particularly encouraged by the open and constructive discussions in which the EFESO team challenged us right from the start and encouraged them to think fundamentally - and thus purposefully. So we quickly realized that we have the ideal partners for the complex tasks of our project on board.

We are very satisfied with the results: we benefit from a clear and sustainable concept. We can independently apply the procedure for designing a "footprint" to improve or confirm our "footprint". Furthermore, we have achieved a high level of transparency for the appropriate dimensioning of the indirect areas."

Günter Bittner, Head of Industrial Engineering, KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH

Knorr-Bremse SfS GmbH

"EFESO provided us with crucial support in redesigning PEP for the Systems for Rail Vehicles unit. This challenging consulting work requires extensive knowledge and, above all, a well-designed concept. That is the only way to identify improvements that will stand the test in practice."

Dr. Albrecht Köhler, Member of Management, Knorr-Bremse SfS GmbH

Armacell

"It was very important for us to have a partner at our side who has experience in the field of digital transformation – and who is able to combine this expertise with Continuous Improvement / Operational Excellence. With the EFESO team, we really do speak the same language in this respect. Looking back on the project, the clear process model also proved to be a success factor. This made it easier to understand the overall construct and the context in order to further develop our project. We also found the close, partnership-based form of collaboration with EFESO to be very positive."

Christopher Borgmann, WAM Digital Transformation Manager, Armacell 

SMT Maschinen- und Vertriebs GmbH & Co. KG

"We have a long-standing and extremely constructive cooperation with EFESO. When designing a new production facility for our latest product, ROI-EFESO’s consultants impressively demonstrated their excellent expertise and in-depth knowledge of factory planning.

The structured and efficient approach as well as the professional and at the same time pleasant cooperation contributed significantly to the fact that we were able to meet our ambitious schedule. Many thanks for the valuable support in our further expansion."

Dr. Christian Ulzhöfer, CEO, SMT Maschinen- und Vertriebs GmbH & Co. KG

Voith Turbo Power Transmission (Shanghai) Co., Ltd

"I would like to give my thanks to the consultants from EFESO to support us, especially for the outstanding ability in shop floor management to positively influence and guide supervisors, line leaders and workers alike."

Jeff Yang, Director Production Management

Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Esterer GmbH & Co. Fahrzeugbauten und Anlagen KG

"EFESO is just the right partner for our company. We jumped into the methodology of manufacturing with both feet. This wouldn’t have been possible without the consultants' detailed know-how about tool manufacture and their multifaceted experience in production. Equally essential to the success of the project was that the consultants worked in a way that was collegial and open. As a result, the enthusiasm can be seen in the entire team, and not just in management."

Julia Esterer, Geschäftsführerin Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Esterer GmbH & Co. Fahrzeugbauten und Anlagen KG

Miba AG

"For us, EFESO is a valuable external partner for introducing technical and organizational innovations and spotting trends at an early stage. For this reason, we're continuing to develop an ongoing collaboration."

Dr. Dr. h.c. Peter Mitterbauer, Member of the Board of Directors, Miba AG

AKW Apparate + Verfahren GmbH

"The introduction of global standards on a best-practice basis was very well received by all involved. Employees around the world are on board with interest and great commitment. Communication between countries has improved decidedly."

Thomas Heckman, CEO, AKW Apparate + Verfahren GmbH

HOERBIGER Kompressortechnik Holding GmbH

"In the project, we were convinced by ROI-EFESO’s use of a combined top-down / bottom-up approach. The consultants were successful in taking the many ideas and creative proposals of the management team and our employees from various countries and giving them, above all, a clear, comprehensible structure in the best possible form. “Teasing out” and channeling the existing creative potential was a particularly important accomplishment of EFESO."

Eckhard Gatawis, Head of Division Global Production, HOERBIGER Kompressortechnik Holding GmbH, Vienna

HASCO Hasenclever GmbH & Co KG

"With the successful conclusion of this project, not only did we set the course for profitable growth in a very challenging market environment, but we also showed that competitive production is possible in the long term in Western Europe as well."

Dirk Schulte, Senior Vice President, HASCO Hasenclever GmbH + Co KG

ENGEL AUSTRIA GmbH

"During the project, the plant was running at close to maximum capacity, meaning that everyone involved was under great stress. Nevertheless, through close collaboration and tight project management, we were able to achieve the ambitious objectives."

Joachim Metzmacher,  Business Unit Head Heavy Equipment Production, ENGEL AUSTRIA GmbH

HOERBIGER Ventilwerke Wien

"In the project, EFESO showed its expertise in impressive fashion in the customer order-based production of small lot sizes. The project managers understood very well how to take up and include ideas from the team without at the same time losing sight of the sought-after overall solution."

Dr. Josef Auernig, Director Plant Vienna, HOERBIGER Ventilwerke
