Manufacturing Industry
Production under control. Change without chaos. ECTA interim managers help companies to manage growth, certifications, and energy challenges with precision that drives quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
Beyond the automotive sector, manufacturing spans a wide range of industries – from engineering and furniture-making to chemicals and food production. These industries face distinct challenges: shortages of skilled labour, pressure to improve efficiency, certification demands, ESG reporting, and digitalisation.
Interim management offers a flexible solution, enabling companies to respond swiftly to change, crisis, or specific projects – without the need for long recruitment processes.
Our interim managers support companies in situations such as:
Introducing new production lines or technologies
We ensure that technology starts up smoothly – without downtime, and with a focus on performance and quality.
Streamlining processes and reducing costs
We uncover potential, streamline processes, and cut operating costs.
Preparing for certifications (e.g. ISO 9001, ISO 50001)
We prepare you for audits with confidence – systematically, expertly, and stress-free.
Tackling environmental and energy challenges
We help you to achieve ESG objectives and lower the energy demands of production.
Managing growth or production reorganisations
