We are delighted to welcome Prof. Matthias Dorfner and Prof. Sebastian Schröter as experienced consulting partners and managing directors who share our vision,” said Dr. Sven Kleiner, Member of the Management Board of :em engineering methods AG.

“The merger opens up new opportunities for us to further strengthen our position in Systems Engineering and IT Management and to offer our customers and partners an even broader range of services. We look forward to shaping the digital future of engineering and beyond together,” emphasized Prof. Dr. Dorfner.

“This transaction is an important step in our group’s growth strategy. It enables us to further expand our service portfolio for customers, diversify our industry coverage, and enhance development opportunities for our employees,” added Philippe Knüsel, Managing Director & Co-Head of Patrimonium Private Equity Advisors and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of AG.
