Simon-Kucher Revenue Up 16 in '16

Pricing and strategy consultancy Simon-Kucher & Partners has detailed another year of rapid growth, with revenue up sixteen percent to EUR 241m, and says it plans to grow both headcount and revenue in double figures in the coming year. US growth led the way with turnover up 30 percent.

The company, which grew by nineteen percent in the first half of last year and has already added 220 to its overall staff numbers in two years, said revenue grew exceptionally strongly in the consumer goods, life sciences, banking and construction industries.

CEO Dr. Georg Tacke (pictured) says the firm's key strengths in growth strategies, pricing, sales and marketing 'are in demand like never before'. 'Many companies are wondering how they will continue to make money and grow sustainably in the digital future. This is exactly where we can help'.

Targets for 2017 are EUR 275m, more than 1,100 associates and new offices to be opened in Hong Kong and Shanghai. The firm is online at www.simon-kucher.com .
