We are the leading service specialist for the factory of today and tomorrow.
Our comprehensive knowledge of the production processes and equipment in the manufacturing industry which we have gained over decades is the basis for our smart services for smart factories. We are firmly established in the automotive industry. Now it is time for us to utilize our expertise to capture general industries as well.
By 2022 we will have built up a strong platform for our digital growth, have sound and scalable business models for our balanced customer portfolio in mature and growth markets and be among the most attractive employers in our industry.
Leadec is a stand-alone company, with a strong track record in automotive, but diversifying and growing in manufacturing industries such as aerospace, white goods and consumer goods.
“Becoming Leading Edge” – that is what our strategy is called. To become leading edge, we will have to grow profitably and professionalize our processes. For this purpose, the strategy is based on the following four pillars.
Leadec offers a dedicated portfolio of ten core services for the manufacturing industry, along the life cycle of the factory and its corresponding infrastructure:
We will develop these service lines further globally with the aim of offering our core services equally in all regions. We increasingly want to integrate digital applications and business models.
The automotive industry will remain our home. But we are now strong enough to scale our successful recipe into adjacent markets. Related manufacturing industries such as aerospace or white goods offer great opportunities for increasing the share of new industries to over 30 percent. This means that we will have a more balanced customer portfolio, allowing us to benefit from opportunities outside the automotive industry:
Europe is our main market. Despite being a mature market, it still offers us many opportunities for expansion. This is where we want to continue to grow. In addition, we will particularly focus on Asia and America where we also expect strong growth because of the high investment in production plant and equipment.
We invest in our own infrastructure and will combine our business processes in one system, providing us with real-time data, also on mobile devices. We will thus have common KPIs that not only show the past but also allow us to proactively control our business. We will not work harder but smarter by continuously improving our processes. If we manage to improve our productivity at our more than 300 sites, we will be more competitive.
