Detroit, April 14, 2025

POLARIXPARTNER North America, a Roland Berger company, is proud to announce the celebration of its 5th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in the company’s journey since its founding in April 2020. Based in Detroit, PXP was established as a leader in delivering cost & value optimizations with in-depth should-cost analysis across various industries.

“The inception of POLARIXPARTNER North America was a testament to resilience and commitment, as our first team member joined us during unprecedented times, laying the groundwork for our future success. Recognizing a critical market need, we quickly specialized in providing data-driven, cost-optimization solutions that have garnered increasing recognition from businesses seeking to enhance their operational efficiency’, says Markus Wiederstein, Managing Director POLARIXPARTNER GmbH.

"With the unwavering support of our colleagues at POLARIXPARTNER Germany, we successfully launched our initial projects, showcasing the strength of our global collaboration. The acquisition of POLARIXPARTNER by Roland Berger in 2022 marked a pivotal moment, exponentially expanding our market reach and enabling us to serve our clients at an entirely new level", he continues.

In 2023, POLARIXPARTNER celebrated a landmark year, securing a significant global full-vehicle project, reinforcing its automotive consulting leadership. Additionally, POLARIXPARTNER's partnership with a substantial capital goods manufacturer opened doors to new industries and exciting opportunities. POLARIXPARTNER continued to expand: 2024 marked the company’s entry into the kitchen appliances and consumer goods sectors, further broadening its expertise and impact.

“Our five-year journey has been nothing short of remarkable,” says Jan Schulte, Managing Director of POLARIXPARTNER North America. “We have navigated past challenges of the past and have seized opportunities to innovate and expand our services. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to delivering transformative results for our clients across an ever-evolving portfolio of industries.”

As POLARIXPARTNER’s footprint in the U.S. expands, so does the scale and scope of the company’s projects. The combined expertise of Roland Berger and POLARIXPARTNER enabled us to kick off this year with a major global automotive OEM project while actively pursuing new opportunities in the capital goods sector.

Roland Berger and POLARIXPARTNER are poised for continued growth and innovation in the future.
