Rethinking procurement. Strategic purchasing structures for medium-sized companies.

In an era where supply chains are under pressure, commodity markets are becoming more volatile, and sustainability requirements are increasing, purchasing is becoming a strategic lever for corporate success.

starkpartners supports medium-sized companies in restructuring their procurement - with a clear focus on efficiency, security of supply and sustainability.

Our consulting does not aim at short-term savings potential, but at the development of sustainable, resilient and strategically well-thought-out procurement models - adapted to the market environment, company size and growth plans.

Our approach - well-founded, systematic, practical:

What product groups, processes and dependencies exist? Where are the risks, where are the opportunities?

Building a future-proof supplier structure – local, international, sustainable and scalable.

Standardization and automation of processes – from the inquiry process to supplier evaluation.

Professionalization of contracts, hedging of critical materials, diversification of sources of supply.

Anchoring the new procurement strategy in day-to-day business – with clear key figures and regular follow-up.

From cost block to source of value.

Purchasing strategies that fit the business model.

Many medium-sized companies outgrow established supplier relationships and operative purchasing routines. But markets are changing – and with them the requirements for supplier selection, contract design, risk hedging and ESG compliance.

We create structure, transparency and strategic options – so that purchasing not only ensures supply, but also actively contributes to value creation.

Typical occasions when we support medium-sized purchasing organizations:


Building a Multi-Level, Resilient Supplier Network

Strategic Make-Or-Buy Decisions

Preparation for Scaling and Internationalization

Digitization of Procurement Processes

ESG Criteria and Regulatory Requirements in Purchasing

Optimization of Purchasing Costs without Loss of Quality

What we stand for:

Deep SME Expertise - from Series Production to Special Machine Construction

Combination of Strategic Thinking & Operative Feasibility

Market Knowledge from Industry, Trade and Technology-Driven Sectors

Experience with International Supply Chains and ESG Requirements

Reliable, Structured and Independent Support at Eye Level

Avoid costly experiments and get the right partners on your side right away

Don’t hesitate too long to contact experienced specialists, because the more serious the situation becomes with regard to your liquidity and solvency as well as other contractual obligations, the more your chances of an out-of-court restructuring dwindle.
