MCP Deutschland GmbH

What MCP Deutschland GmbH does

MCP Deutschland GmbH (operating as dankl+partner consulting) is a DACH-region management consulting firm specializing in asset management, maintenance (Instandhaltung), and engineering excellence. Founded by Andreas Dankl in Austria around 1994, the company operates a dual-entity structure with the Austrian parent (dankl+partner consulting gmbh, Wals bei Salzburg) and a German subsidiary in Munich, and is part of the international MCP Consulting Group network. The firm serves asset-intensive enterprises across manufacturing, process industry, energy/utilities, paper, chemicals, food, aerospace/propulsion, and transport/logistics, with named engagements spanning BASF (multi-year), Ritter Sport, Härterei Michael Welser, Altesse, Wewalka, EVN Wärmekraftwerke, and BRP-Rotax.

The firm's core intellectual property is the System for Excellence (S4E), a proprietary framework that decomposes Asset Management, Maintenance, and Engineering into 15 knowledge modules (Wissensbausteine) used for assessment, benchmarking, and structured improvement roadmaps. S4E underpins all productized offerings: the free Excellence Radar self-assessment tool, the paid Performance Check / Fitness Check diagnostics, the AMIS benchmarking database, modular in-house training programs, working documents for 15 cost-reduction approaches, and implementation support. The company also organizes proprietary industry events (INSTANDHALTUNGSTAGE in Salzburg, maintenanceXchange in Switzerland, Praxistag Smart Maintenance in Munich, NextGen Maintenance Expert Circle) and co-organizes the Tagung Instandhaltung & Management with IFC EBERT.

Revenue is generated through three professional-services streams: project-based consulting engagements with enterprise clients (often multi-week and relationship-driven), training and education revenue (per-module fees, inhouse workshops, online seminars), and event/conference revenue (e.g., Tagung Instandhaltung & Management tickets at EUR 1,350 early-bird). GTM is entirely direct/relationship-based — no channel partners, marketplaces, or PLG motions — and demand generation relies on flagship events, free benchmarking tools (Excellence Radar) for top-of-funnel conversion, a content hub, newsletter, and LinkedIn thought leadership. Pricing is largely quote-based for consulting and training engagements, with limited unit pricing disclosed for working documents (EUR 75.90 per optimization approach).
