Executive Search in Wuppertal
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in the Bergisches Land: suppliers, tools, chemicals and the family-owned Mittelstand.

Family businesses in the Bergisches Land
Wuppertal and the Bergisch city triangle with Solingen and Remscheid are shaped by suppliers, the tool and metal industry, chemicals and many family-owned companies.
Many of these companies face two tasks at once: succession in management and change in their customers’ industries. The brief is for executives who shape both responsibly.
