Industry focus of Dietrich Groth
Executive Search Consulting consumer goods / FMCG (non food) & trade
For many years, we have been supporting renowned companies in Europe in the (non-food) consumer goods industry / FMCG and in retail. Especially the development towards the “Multi Channel Approach” within the consumer goods industry and also the retail sector is the very special challenge – accordingly the requirements for the executives and specialists have changed a lot. This is where Dietrich Groth’s experience in the industry and in retail provides a very decisive added value.
Executive Search Consulting outdoor & lifestyle
Mega trends, speed, short product life cycles in combination with extremely high complexity characterize the industries “Outdoor & Lifestyle”. These industries actually have quite a high radiance in the candidate market, but many companies need significant support to actually find the best and the really fitting candidates. This is where DELTACON Executive Search comes in: Intensive briefings to create the candidate profile with all relevant stakeholders, professional candidate assessment and selection and a silver platter with the actual best fitting candidates deliver the decisive added value for our clients.
Executive Search Consulting packaging materials
The packaging market has been facing challenges for decades: Concentration on the manufacturer side, new technologies combined with significant investment requirements, massive shifts in sales markets, a high level of competition, volatile raw material markets and the trend towards “end-to-end solutions” on the customer side. This complexity of the market shapes the demands on executives in the packaging market. At DELTACON Executive Search, we have known this market for 30 years – and not only the manufacturer side, but also the customer side.
