Industrial – Small & Midsize companies
At PITKER, our industrial practice is dedicated to small and midsize companies (SMEs), whether family or private equity owned, for which, strategic, operational and human-capital challenges are crucial. To address the specific needs of these small and midsize organizations, we have developed, region by region, a deep and wide sector expertise and talent pools covering a large scope of industrial functions.
Targeted SME's expertise
We primarily support companies generating turnovers between 50 and 500 million euros. Companies for which every hiring decision has a direct impact on performance and growth.
Broad and local sector expertise
Drawing on our experience in specialized and diverse fields such as machine and tools manufacturing, precision or industrial engineering, renewable energy, electrical components, food industry or automotive, we have built an extensive network which addresses a wide range of industrial issues and leadership profiles. This sector expertise has been developed locally, in the regions, where our clients operate, allowing us to develop a solid network with local stakeholders and tailored talent pools to each territory.
Industrial leadership network
Our talent pools include site directors, industrial directors, operations directors and general managers. All are carefully selected to drive transformation, foster innovation and ensure operational excellence.
