io continues expansion

io to integrate agiplan’s Industry Consulting

  • agiplan GmbH realigns business units to focus on Public Management
  • Clients and staff benefit from consolidated consulting know-how


agiplan GmbH is realigning its business units with effect from July 1, 2023. The company’s Industry Consulting unit and the respective staff will then legally merge with io-consultants GmbH & Co. KG. Ongoing projects will also transfer to the io Group, with agiplan clients continuing to be served by their usual team to ensure consistency in all customer relationships and projects.

With the acquisition of agiplan’s Industry Consulting, io is continuing its dynamic expansion of recent years. This step will extend the service range and generate new opportunities for ongoing and future projects of the leading supply chain consultant and planner. With the additional staff on board, io will have over 400 consultants and planners across all disciplines to accommodate every type of project.

agiplan GmbH’s strategic realignment will enable the company to place a consistent focus on expanding its Public Management business unit. To complement the project consulting and implementation services in the field of sustainability, new mobility and structural change, the subsidiaries delta consult GmbH and prima consult GmbH will also provide climate and energy consulting.

Attractive prospects for companies

agiplan and io have agreed on close cooperation for the future. Working hand-in-hand within a larger network will open new horizons in industrial consulting and increase the benefits for business clients and the public sector alike.
 

Dr. Christian Jacobi, Managing Partner of agiplan GmbH: “We are delighted about the prospects in Industry Consulting – both for our clients and our staff. In order to keep on growing in a dynamic market, we want to bundle our resources and at the same time expand our cooperation with the public sector.”

Thomas Kilimann, Managing Director of io: “Integrating agiplan Industry Consulting will bring a boost to our consulting team and enable us to offer our clients an even broader range of consultancy and services in future. We are looking forward to this next stage of expansion and extend a warm welcome to all clients and new colleagues.”
