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 other industries as well.
We 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 are 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 e-commerce, consumer goods and aerospace.
“Becoming Leading Edge” – that is what our strategy is called. To become leading edge, we 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 integrate digital applications and business models.
The automotive industry will remain our home. But we already have scaled our successful recipe into adjacent markets. Related manufacturing industries such as aerospace, e-commerce or white goods offer great opportunities for increasing the share of new industries to over 40 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, for example in Spain or Portugal. In addition, we will particularly focus on Americas where we also expect strong growth because of the high investment in production plant and equipment. We are benefiting from the trend that, with the diversification of the supply chain, production is increasingly being set up locally again.
We invest in our own infrastructure and combine our business processes in one system, providing us with real-time data, also on mobile devices. A key lever here is our digital business platform Leadec.os, which has been implemented at many of our global customer sites. Our new HR connect global platform brings together data and processes centrally, thus accelerating all tasks related to HR work. Now – after our entire IT infrastructure, customer and service processes – all HR processes are also digitized and excellently positioned. We thus have common KPIs that not only show the past but also allow us to proactively control our business. We do not work harder but smarter by continuously improving our processes. By improving our productivity at our more than 300 sites, we will be more competitive.
Leadec approaches digitization in its entirety using three steps:
Sustainability is firmly anchored into our operations and governance. We have set ourselves sustainability targets, release an annual sustainability report and we are part of the UN Global Compact. In addition, Leadec supports its industrial customers on their way to decarbonization and a circular economy. Our “Green Factory Solutions" comprise sustainable services that complement and expand Leadec’s portfolio in all service areas – from recording the carbon footprint to supporting energy audits and installing photovoltaic systems.
The rating agency Sustainalytics rated Leadec's risk of significant financial impact from ESG factors as negligible. The rating result of Sustainalytics takes into account the ESG risks that Leadec faces as a service specialist for the factory on the one hand and how the company deals with them on the other hand. In the area of CO2 emissions, Leadec makes a contribution a contribution, among other things, through a growing share of electricity from renewable energies, a simultaneous reduction in CO2 emissions or the use of environmentally compatible cleaning agents.
Leadec has received a silver rating in the corporate social responsibility (CSR) rating of the independent assessment platform EcoVadis. The audit covers the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
