There are always situations in the lives of companies in which an expert partner is required – someone from outside. It should be someone who you get along with personally and who knows their way around your sector. Someone who doesn’t just talk, but who actually makes an active contribution to improving your competitiveness.
For more than 22 years, the print business consultants at Apenberg + Partner have supported prominent companies in the media and printing industry in their change processes. With the open
perspective of an uninvolved party and industry expertise gained from more than 750 consulting projects, we are valuable partners for management in our sector.

Strategy Consulting
The Internet and e-commerce have forced the printing industry and publishers to reconsider their business models. Too many providers with interchangeable products and services compete for customers in finite markets. The result is a decline in prices and shrinking margins. Innovation and strategy are the fine adjusters for ensuring corporate success. However, if your strategy is misguided, everything else will turn out wrong or at least unsatisfactory. This applies equally to sales, productivity, costs and profit, as well as to motivation (internal stimuli) and employee commitment. If you would like your corporate strategy to be given the once-over or are dissatisfied with your company’s development to date, you will find a competent partner in us.
Restructuring Consulting
Managers caught in a crisis tend to want to solve their problems themselves. But this path only bears fruit in exceptional cases. Confidence somehow has to be restored, especially towards banks, authorities and suppliers. The best approach to this is the support of Apenberg + Partner. For more than 23 years, we have supported companies in the industry in handling crises, assisting them actively in returning to healthy business growth. But more than that, some companies re-emerge from a crisis in better shape than they were in before and have been able to improve their competitive position dramatically. We can show you how in a personal meeting.
Personnel Consulting
A company’s success is largely determined by people and their ideas, energy and personalities. As one of the leading personnel consultants in the industry, we consider it our most important duty
to acquire the best people for our customers. Depending on the difficulty of the position to be filled, we make use of the most effective search method. Our customers benefit from the high level of
recognition our company enjoys in the industry and from the confidence that the candidates who we approach show in us day in, day out.
The next time you have a vacant position in the industry, why not give us a call?
Mergers & Acquisitions
The media and printing industry will further consolidate. We provide objective consulting at all stages of an M&A transaction – from defining strategy, to searching for suitable candidates and partners, all the way through to integration. We posses industry-specific expertise and see ourselves as an advisory partner supporting the entire process – from the first strategy meeting to the completion of the deal. The independence of Apenberg + Partner guarantees that we focus on the interests of our customers.
