The plastics processing industry in Europe is an important pillar of the industrial landscape, with excellent companies and products that enjoy a good reputation worldwide. In contrast, the public discussion often presents an undifferentiated image of the plastics industry.

For many companies, high energy and raw material costs play a major role in international competition. This circumstance once again makes the quality of products, innovation and efficiency in technical and organizational processes in all parts of the company significantly more important. The latest machines solve these issues only in part. What is needed are specialists and managers who accept the challenges and master them in a dynamic environment.

The sharp decline in the number of students in plastics processing is intensifying the battle for the best minds. We are a strong partner in this tight market when it comes to finding the right people.

The entire specialty chemicals industry, from large-scale chemical production to distribution and compounding, is facing a major transformation driven by two key factors. High local energy costs – coupled with uncertain developments – are having a direct impact on manufacturing costs, margins and thus on the willingness to invest. They are currently leading to questions regarding the allocation and relocation of key production and processing capacities, particularly in the long term. At the same time, more and more international manufacturers are entering the market with competitive products and prices, and exerting influence. The strong plastics processing industry needs a competitive and secure supply of raw materials in order to continue to play to its strengths. In the area of distribution, there are tendencies towards consolidation. Distributors are faced with the question of how to differentiate themselves and what unique selling points they can offer their customers compared to larger competitors. Strategic vision and entrepreneurial thinking are required.

In this complex environment, competent specialists and managers are needed to operate successfully in this market. We are your partner in finding these people.

Mechanical engineering, the heart of the German industrial landscape, faces three major challenges. The transition to digital technologies and the integration of Industry 4.0 concepts are crucial to remaining competitive. This requires investments in IoT (Internet of Things), automation, data analysis and artificial intelligence to enable more efficient production processes.

The mechanical engineering industry in Germany is under strong international competitive pressure, especially from emerging markets with lower production costs. Efficient processes and innovative ideas are just two key factors for staying ahead of the competition.

For years, demographic change in Germany has led to a shortage of qualified workers in the mechanical engineering sector. There is a need for highly qualified engineers and specialists to implement new technologies, from the initial idea to the distribution of the products. We are the competent partner to help you compete even better for the best employees.

The industry is facing a number of challenges that are placing completely new demands on employees in the company. Among the most pressing issues are the increasing demands for sustainability and environmental compatibility. The pressure to develop more environmentally friendly materials and processes is constantly growing as regulations become stricter and consumer awareness of ecological issues increases.

Another issue that will continue to occupy the industry in the medium and long term is digitization. While some companies are already implementing innovative technologies such as BIM (Building Information Modeling) and IoT (Internet of Things), many are still at the beginning of the digital transformation. In addition, the industry is facing challenges in the supply chain. Global events and economic uncertainties have shown how fragile the supply of raw materials and finished products can be. Companies therefore need to develop strategies to make their supply chains more robust and flexible in order to better counteract future disruptions.

All these issues can only be mastered with the right people. Our expertise in the construction supplies industry enables us to find the right employees for you based on an excellent understanding of the starting position, thereby helping your company to secure its long-term competitiveness.

Pharma & Healthcare are absolutely future-oriented industries. Society is getting older and older and people’s health awareness is constantly increasing, which, among other things, is leading to a further increase in the personalization of medicine. The development of customized treatment approaches not only requires extensive genetic and clinical data analysis, but also close cooperation between different disciplines in order to successfully implement individualized therapies. In addition, the integration of biotechnology and new therapeutic approaches such as gene therapies and mRNA technologies presents a significant challenge for the industry. These advanced technologies require specialized knowledge and skills.

All this is happening at a time of constantly rising healthcare costs and the associated pressure to control costs. Companies need to develop strategies to increase efficiency while at the same time further improving the quality of their own products. This requires not only innovative approaches to management, but also qualified employees who are able to shape and implement these changes. Finding precisely these employees is what drives us.

The printing and paper industry is the industry that started it all 30 years ago at insight. This is not the only reason for our profound understanding of the industry and a network that is unparalleled in terms of depth and breadth. However, the printing and paper industry is also facing major challenges. The pressure to develop more environmentally friendly materials and processes is constantly growing as regulations become stricter and consumer awareness of ecological issues increases. Paper production in particular is extremely resource- and energy-intensive and has therefore been the focus of particular attention, not only since the war in Ukraine and the consequences for energy supply.

Another important topic is digitization. While digital media are challenging the traditional printing market, they also offer opportunities for new business models. Companies need to integrate digital printing technologies in a meaningful way in order to remain competitive. This requires not only technical knowledge, but also creativity and flexibility to adapt quickly to changing market requirements.

In addition, rising production costs are a major challenge. Cost pressure is forcing companies to continuously optimize their processes and find innovative solutions to reduce costs. This requires qualified employees who are competent in both technical and business management areas and are able to identify and implement efficiency improvements.

After 30 years, our hearts still beat for the printing and paper industry, and we look forward to working with you for the next 30 years.

The electronics and electrical engineering industry is at the center of technological innovation and is a driving force for numerous advances in a wide range of industries. The rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) or the “Internet of Things” (IoT) presents the industry with specific challenges that require highly qualified employees and interdisciplinary cooperation.

The integration of IoT technologies into a wide range of products and systems is another challenge. This integration requires not only extensive knowledge of sensor technology and wireless communication, but also a strong understanding of cybersecurity to ensure the security and reliability of networked devices. Employees must be able to design and protect complex systems while at the same time developing innovative solutions that improve comfort and functionality for end users.

The transition to renewable energy and the development of energy-efficient technologies are also key issues for the electronics and electrical engineering industry. Companies need to develop sustainable solutions that reduce energy consumption while maximizing performance. This requires professionals who have both technical knowledge and an awareness of ecological and economic aspects.

The electronics and electrical engineering industry is also facing major challenges due to the shortage of skilled workers. The demand for highly qualified engineers and technicians exceeds supply, making innovative recruitment strategies and continuous training indispensable – and this is precisely where we would like to be your partner.
