Industrial Aftermarket Group

We keep the machines running

WE ARE A GROUP OF LEADING OEM-INDEPENDENT AFTERMARKET SPECIALISTS

We founded our group because the importance and requirements in the aftermarket are increasing…
  • OEMs do not always anticipate customers’ needs during machine operation but want to dominate their aftermarket.
  • There is a growing awareness among machine users of the importance of quality and the supply with spare and wear parts in order to minimise downtime (=higher OEE) and optimise machine operating costs (=lower TCO) in times of harder competition, supply chain difficulties and inflation
  • Increasing complexity of machinery creates new challenges for the flexible and long-term operation of systems.
…and as a group of OEM independent aftermarket specialists we can jointly achieve greater growth potentials

OUR APPROACH

The Industrial Aftermarket Group unites different leading niche specialists in one group and supports each specialist individually in their growth

Shared mindset of the Industrial Aftermarket Group

Our goal is to achieve market leadership as a one-stop shop in various niche markets:

  • We understand the customer, his processes and his machines
  • We serve the customer holistically and offer OEE-optimal solutions
  • We are there for the customer 24/7 and worldwide
  • We deliver high quality and modern technology for an attractive price
  • We develop our services close to the customer

We develop a separate strategy for each pillar to optimally support organic and inorganic growth. This includes:

  • Financing of expansion projects
  • Acquisition of market competitors
  • Digitalisation, e.g. with webshops
  • Support for strategic projects such as improving sales management

If required, we can handle certain functions such as accounting or IT for individual companies at group level
