From metal production and metal processing to finishing processes and downstream service centres: Our KPMG experts specialise in companies along the value chain in the metal industry.
However, in Germany in particular, it is difficult to differentiate between the stages of the value chain for the industry as a whole. Integrated large corporations often cover production as well as further processing and customer-orientated services.
The metals industry is constantly faced with the challenge of fluctuating demand, volatile raw material costs and persistent pressure on margins. Some markets are also characterised by excess capacity, consolidation pressure and increasingly stringent legal requirements.
In the metals industry, it is necessary to invest in energy- and resource-saving technologies and process engineering innovations. This is the only way to minimise substitution and relocation risks.
Whether you need to optimise net working capital, support investment projects, realign operating processes or implement a digitalisation strategy: KPMG is a competent and reliable partner for you. Our interdisciplinary teams identify potential for improvement in all areas of the company, point out alternatives and help you to achieve your goals.
