Challenges
Our client developed in the UK a comprehensive portfolio of automotive systems testing services based around its extensive test-track facilities.
The question arose of how to grow their business in Germany, one of the most opportune markets with the United States and Japan.
Approach
- The approach of Victanis consisted in understanding the German competitive environment in automotive engineering testing: who are the key competitors, existing customer-supplier relationships, pricing pressures and market trends, market volume, and then in identifying potential partnership or acquisition targets and assessing the reputation of these with their main customers.
- To do this, Victanis interviewed a selection of OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers of automotive systems and potential competitors of our customer in Germany.
Results
Victanis gave the client a clear vision of the market in Germany, its volume, growth prospects and its particular characteristics. The likely essentials for success (positioning, service strategy, price, ...) in entering this market were identified. Victanis then supported the customer in approaching a selection of identified acquisition targets.
