What Konsens does

KONSENS Public Relations GmbH & Co. KG is an owner-managed B2B public relations and communications agency founded in 1994 and headquartered in Stockstadt am Main, in the Rhine-Main metropolitan region of Germany. The firm operates as an external communications department for industrial clients, primarily serving the plastics-producing and plastics-processing sector, the mechanical and tool engineering industry, and the chemical industry. It maintains a single bilingual (German/English) website under the konsens.de domain and supports a client base that includes both large multinationals (Coperion, Mitsui Chemicals Europe, Momentive Performance Materials, Oerlikon HRSflow, GUARDIAN EUROPE) and small-to-medium enterprises across the plastics processing, compounding, recycling, tooling, and automation value chains.

The agency delivers a unified suite of five core services under one roof: copywriting and localization (Texten & Lokalisieren), images and graphics production (Bilder & Grafiken), press distribution and media monitoring (Dienstleistungen), corporate publishing including customer magazines, and advertising coordination (Werbung). Press distribution is supported by a continuously maintained specialist media database of approximately 7,000 web and print editorial contacts worldwide, used for targeted national and international trade-media outreach. There is no proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI/ML capability disclosed; the agency's outputs are consulting and production services delivered by its in-house team.

KONSENS runs a sales-led, consultative go-to-market motion with no self-serve pricing, no published rate cards, and an explicit free-consultation entry point on its website. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements, described as project-based or retainer in nature, with no disclosed figures, no funding history, no M&A activity, and no parent company. Distribution is direct: the agency serves clients regionally in Germany, across the broader DACH and European market, and internationally for export-oriented industrial accounts. Marketing is content-driven and relationship-based, centered on the konsens.de website, an active client press-release news section, and presence on LinkedIn and Facebook.
