About us

A company may only act and behave in the way it’s management and it’s employees do

CIM Aachen GmbH is a multi-disciplined consultancy active in the fields of business strategy, Information management and the organizational change of industrial enterprises. Since its foundation as an offshoot of the Technical University of Aachen, Germany, in 1987, CIM Aachen's mission has been to apply innovative business concepts in order to achieve tangible results in a short period of time. What sets CIMAachen apart from most consultancies is our ability to implement strategies which lead to lasting competitive advantage, our experience in rapidly improving organizational processes, and our skill in the effective application of information technology to support these changes.

Our clients value the independent and objective nature of our services, as we are not affiliated to any software- or hardware vendor companies. Our style is pragmatic and results-oriented. We take great pride in having supported the competitive renewal of many of Germany's leading „Mittelstand"-companies.

For CIM Aachen, the term „Mittelstand" describes how the entrepreneurial spirit can be put to work throughout an organization. Few layers of hierarchy, an innovative corporate culture and great flexibility in fulfilling customer requirements are all characteristics of successful „Mittelstand"-companies. Implementing such strategies is one of CIM Aachens’s key objectives, which is increasingly relevant to the SBUs of large, multi-national corporations.

Our client industries include aerospace, automotive (OEM as well as suppliers), capital equipment, machine tools, semiconductor/electronics, pharmaceuticals and consumer goods. Our Consulting teams are locally active in all major European countries, as well as in the United States.
