Consulting company Arcondis continues to expand
Arcondis, the consulting company specializing in the life sciences industry, closes its 14th financial year with stable group sales of 22.5 million Swiss francs. The German subsidiaries show an increase in sales of 8 % and contribute the equivalent of 2.6 million Swiss francs to the sales of the Swiss parent company.
The 2015 fiscal year was dominated by the consulting firm's new Vision 2020: "Creating scope for intelligent success with competence and passion". Arcondis focused primarily on sharpening its specialization in the life sciences industry. The declared goal is the transformation from an operational business to a strategic business partner that manages projects with a high level of innovation from conception to implementation for its clients in the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical technology industries. This reorientation is also reflected in the distribution of sales - the share of strategic projects, for example, recorded an increase of 15 % compared to the operating area.
The consulting firm with just under 100 employees owes its increased sales in the strategic area primarily to its focus on innovation and current challenges in the market. With new topics such as IDMP, Arcondis also took on strategic mandates from new customers in 2015 around the efficient integration of these new regulations into everyday business. The digitalization of the business areas is also a central topic: For example, Arcondis managed the conversion of laboratory journals to electronic lab notebooks for a long-standing customer.
"The secret of our success is our exclusive focus on the needs of our life sciences customers," says Erwin Küng, Managing Director of Arcondis. "In-depth understanding is a prerequisite here. As a result, we are always one step ahead for our customers in terms of technological innovation and new regulatory requirements. Our customers can rely on us not to settle for mediocrity and to drive projects to above-average success." For the coming years, Arcondis sees its future increasingly in strategic consulting. There is a lot of potential in the German market in particular, which is why the company wants to drive its growth more strongly there.
