Axel Schmidt
"Achieving sustainability!"
Whether Axel Schmidt advises an SME or a huge company, the task always comprises great challenges. "Bright ideas at the beginning of your project are not enough. They only make sense if your client adopts them as his own. That's the way to enhance quality and address individual specifications," he points out.
As Partner and head of the Operations Strategy CC, he guides projects focusing on engineering, purchasing, logistics and production in regions such as China, the Americas and CEE. When developing global footprint optimization concepts he deals with highly complex issues. One of them is an adequate market entry strategy for emerging markets.
