MVI Group with new market focus |
• Response to changes in
the automobile product development supply pyramid
• Service-provider
manages complex automobile development projects along the entire product
development process chain, including vehicle trials
•
The Munich-based corporate group MVI Group employs some 1,000 people around
the world |
18.09.2003, MUNICH |
| Under the name “MVI Group”
the remaining parts of the former IVM Engineering Group have been repositioned
in the market. Approximately one year after the Munich-based business family
Kiss sold the German development division IVM Automotive to the Remscheid-based
Edscha Group, the remaining companies are being realigned under the roof
of the MVI Group. The primary sector focus remains the international automobile
industry. |
| “The MVI Group is an
entirely new type of innovative service-provider within the automobile industry,”
says Managing Partner Arpad Kiss, describing the repositioning of the company
which employs some one thousand people at over twenty locations around the
world. Individual companies within the Group focus on product development
in Brazil, Spain, Great Britain and the USA, while others concentrate on
factory and production planning as well as information technologies. A new
corporate focus: the co-ordination of process and project management tasks
for complex product development projects on behalf of clients. However the
Group does not currently offer technical consulting or engineering services
in the field of automobile development in Germany. |
| “This move is a timely
response to changes in the demand profile of the market,” says Kiss,
outlining the company’s strategic realignment. “Automobile manufacturers
increasingly outsource their development projects to the system suppliers
responsible for component production. This is reducing the importance of
traditional development services. For this reason we are now offering carefully
tailored services in the field of process management,” says Kiss.
Within the MVI Group the new management services are rendered in particular
via the company Promotive GmbH as an independent new corporate division. |
| “As a neutral partner
and on the basis of our comprehensive know-how within the automobile industry,
we manage complex development projects along the entire process chain, including
vehicle trials,” says Kiss, describing the broad spectrum of services
rendered by the realigned corporate group. The MVI Group comprises the three
divisions “Process-Management”, “Engineering” (currently
only available overseas) and “Human Capital Services & Consulting”. |
| The employees of the “MVI
Group” have at their disposal in-depth sector expertise that has developed
over decades. A wide range of services along the automobile development
process chain, such as for example factory and assembly planning, overall
vehicle trials and homologation characterise the specialist capabilities
of the corporate group. At international sites such as in Great Britain,
Spain, Brazil or the USA, design and construction services in the classic
production development field are also rendered. |
Because qualified employees
play an increasingly central role in the complex product development process
chain, the MVI Group also offers support in the field of human capital services,
such as e.g. in the field of employee qualifications, innovative learning
systems and personnel management.
