The SME success model.
Industrial SMEs
SMEs are the most important drivers of innovation and technology in Germany. Many global market leaders and hidden champions have found their home here. A key factor in their success is a specific attitude: human relations and values count, the character of steadfastness and longevity meets ambitious goals and a strong will.
Industries with which we feel connected: mechanical engineering, plant engineering, electrical engineering, automation, defence industry, metal processing, plastics processing, wood industry, textile industry, glass industry.
“Taking the time to get to get to know a company and its people, to gather impressions, to build relationships and to understand its specific management philosophy. The detailed and trusting discussions with our candidates, in which we focus on the personal fit. For me, all of this is what excellent recruitment consultancy is about – and it’s what motivates me every day.”
— Joachim Heinemeyer
World market leader, family business, founder. Simply medium-sized.
Because of our own history, we have a special affinity with SMEs. We’re just as familiar with niche technology leaders as we are with companies whose presence is global. We know that running an SME is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. It’s about having the right personality, and sometimes more than just the ability to adapt. SMEs are often family-owned, just like ifp itself. With our own experience of skilfully organised business succession, advising owners on management changes and transitioning to a new generation is truly a matter of personal concern to us.
