Newsletter #02/2023 – Paths into industrial future
Seldom has a look into the future of the manufacturing industry been more difficult than today. This is because the issues currently facing industrial companies at the same time are more diverse than ever: from reducing the ecological footprint and regionalizing value creation to radical cost-cutting measures due to rising energy prices, many industrial companies are facing far-reaching decisions in the coming years. Against this backdrop, we take a look at the year 2025 and explore the question of how companies are shaping their industrial future.
As part of the "Sustainable Turn 2025" study, we asked top decision-makers from the food & beverage, mechanical engineering and consumer goods industries for their assessments of various aspects of sustainability and their impact on their respective industries. The answers provide fascinating insights into the respective challenges and urgencies of various industries in transition.
In the current issue of the ROI-EFESO newsletter, you can also find out why it is worthwhile to take stock of the situation in your own company network right now and get some impetus for your path to the industrial future with our event tips.

In view of current challenges such as rising energy and raw material costs or considerations of regionalization of value creation activities, it is essential for industrial companies to have a comprehensive picture of the performance and maturity of their production sites. Because only if these are known can important investment decisions for the industrial future be made sensibly and in a targeted manner. In this interview, Dr. Kai Magenheimer, Partner at ROI-EFESO, explains how plant assessments help not only to obtain a transparent picture of the status quo of individual plants as well as entire plant networks, but also to align them in a sustainably competitive manner.
