Agamus Consult

What Agamus Consult does

Agamus Consult GmbH is a Munich-headquartered, founder-owned management consulting firm founded in 1994 that specializes in Operational Excellence for European manufacturing clients. Its core service portfolio covers six disciplines: Supply Chain Management (including Advanced S&OP), Lean Management, Smart Digital Operations, Product Lifecycle Management, Organizational Development, and Efficiency Improvement. The firm differentiates through proprietary methodologies—most notably eVSD® (enhanced Value Stream Design) and the ALPI© (Agamus Lean Performance Index) assessment tool—and through its long-running Automotive Lean Production benchmark study, conducted annually since 2006 in partnership with Automobil Produktion magazine across European automotive plants.

The business model is professional services: revenue is generated through project-based consulting engagements sold directly to enterprise manufacturing clients, with custom pricing per engagement and no publicly disclosed rates. The go-to-market combines direct sales, thought leadership content (blog, LinkedIn, newsletters, whitepapers), and an industry-event-led strategy centered on the annual ALP Congress and awards ceremony. In 2017, Agamus extended beyond pure consulting by launching the 'smart applications – Forum für digitalisierte Industrie', a B2B marketplace platform for Industry 4.0 products, supplemented by a self-service Digital Readiness Assessment tool.

The firm operates with offices in Munich (headquarters) and Berlin, is led by Managing Directors Dr. Werner Geiger (CEO) and Marc Kräutle, and serves enterprise clients across European automotive manufacturing (OEMs and suppliers) and adjacent industrial verticals such as cable solutions and elastomer technology. It is privately held with no external investment, parent company, or institutional ownership, and maintains no subsidiaries, M&A activity, or public funding rounds in its documented history.
