Defense & aerospace

Following the consolidation wave, it is now time to integrate and realize the synergies the financial markets are expecting. Today, the aerospace & defense industry is seeing its players change positions, migrating progressively from upstream to downstream along the value chain.

Component suppliers are offering more complex equipment, equipment suppliers are looking to supply subsystems and platform suppliers are including more value-added services. And, lastly, cash cost constraints and players repositioning themselves have accelerated the need for restructuring in this industry, whether in terms of redefining partnership models with constructors, production or, above all, managing major programs.

With this in mind, Roland Berger has developed a global approach that covers both strategic and operational issues. Above all, we help our clients identify and exploit new sources of growth. We also assist them with major change programs (process reengineering, controlling and optimizing the supply chain, sourcing, etc.) to enable them to optimize their business systems.
