From a regional cleaning company to an international full-service provider – Stölting Service Group is on course for growth! How do you manage to turn a business with a turnover of €3.5 million in 2004 into a company with a turnover of around €400 million while still maintaining a close relationship with people?
Our COO Dr Boris Westerfeld, who is also Managing Director of Stölting Austria, discusses this in the latest podcast of „Der Brutkasten“ with host Dejan Jovicevic.
Also present: Boris Pelikan, founder and managing director of Raiffeisen Continuum, the Austrian specialist for business succession.
Topic of the talk:
How is Stölting Service Group venturing from Germany to Austria? What opportunities does the market offer and what role do strong partnerships play in this?.
Quote from Dr Boris Westerfeld: „We buy where we are not good and learn from the local people. It is important to us that we have doers on board who are well connected and drive issues forward. Those who do not act today will no longer be there tomorrow.“
In Raiffeisen Continuum, the Stölting Service Group has found a partner that is a good fit not only financially, but also on a personal level.
Quote from Boris Pelikan: „Many companies are selling nothing less than their life's work. That requires sensitivity, and that is precisely where our strengths lie. We are opening up a market that did not exist before.“
The story of Stölting and Raiffeisen Continuum is far from over.
Now listen in in the exciting discussion about growth, partnership and pioneering spirit.
