Going new ways

Package for companies in crisis

Customers who suffer from revenue declines due to a high fixed cost structure can outsource their production and assembly activities in the shortest possible time using the «Rapid Outsourcing» process to variabilize their cost structure quickly. Rapid Outsourcing can also be used as a restructuring measure! This gives you time and capacity to give full attention to other restructuring measures.
