What is it about?

For over 100 years, the family-owned company has been one of the most innovative and successful companies in the industry.

In fiscal 2020/21, the family-owned company generated sales of around 575 million euros.

As a global player with strong growth, the group is increasingly facing international challenges, but also opportunities. Rising raw material prices, ESG and ever shorter innovation cycles are the main drivers here. In order to meet these challenges, the company established a sustainable efficiency program that focuses on both internal processes and new revenue streams zogether with ( Horváth & Partners. The initiatives developed in the process, with a focus on sustainability, efficiency and organizational optimization, are mapped and tracked in Falcon.

Success story with Falcon:

Nearly 30 employees across the company, but with a focus on Germany, manage ongoing measures while keeping a constant eye on key information. Falcon's intuitive handling and simplicity enables project participants to plan and track measures and generate reports at the push of a button.

The aggregation makes it possible to keep an eye on the "big picture". Project participants work on their respective initiatives, mark individual activities as completed and track the measurable effects. The experienced project manager does not have to worry about the aggregation to the overall program, as Falcon's tree structure takes care of this completely automatically. Thanks to regular status meetings, the development of the project can be tracked without complicated spreadsheets. The focus is especially on reporting, which is regularly used by the project participants internally and outside of the fixed status meetings.
