We are delighted to have once again been ranked as Germany's leading consultancy in the "Engineering & Production" discipline in the industry survey "Hidden Champions of the Consulting Market." For the sixth consecutive year, study participants awarded EFESO with the renowned quality seal. With the 2026/27 edition of the study, we have maintained our first-place ranking in this consulting discipline since 2015.

Quality seal from WGMB and Capital

The Hidden Champions seal is the oldest quality seal in Germany, recognizing outstanding consulting services. It has been awarded for almost 20 years by the Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft für Management und Beratung (WGMB) in cooperation with the German business magazine “Capital”. Thirty consulting firms have been awarded the title "Hidden Champion 2026/27."

Over 1,100 clients of German consulting firms were interviewed. To be listed as a Hidden Champion, a consulting firm had to be rated as more competent than the three leading global consulting firms McKinsey, BCG, and Bain in at least one consulting area or industry, among other criteria.

All evaluation results are published in the December 13th issue of Capital. Further information about the study is available on the WGMB's Hidden Champion website.

EFESO has also achieved top positions in these industry rankings: Best of Consulting Award (WirtschaftsWoche) and Best Consultants (brand eins).
