Across Europe, the manufacturing sector is a bedrock of both industry and the economy, supplying the world with innovative goods and materials – and serving as a major source of employment across the continent.
For this vital area, ADVANT Altana provides comprehensive support and advice, both within Europe and around the globe.
Our clients include leading makers of both industrial and consumer goods, as well as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), value added resellers (VARs), and a vast array of other suppliers, buyers and third parties across Europe and around the world.
We advise these organizations on issues and solutions ranging from complex contracts and supply agreements, supply chain logistics and compliance, regulatory scrutiny, dual use and other trade restrictions, procurement, import/export, custom clearance, circular economy, financing and insurance, public aids and grants, documentary credit, international security instruments, incoterms, hardship and negotiation.
In addition, we advise on process digitalization, data security, health & safety, product liability, employment, intellectual property and innovation (in particular AI-related issues), wholesale and retail network structuring, business transactions such as acquisitions and disposals, real estate, environmental and sustainability considerations, corporate venturing, and major disputes, nationally and internationally, among many others.
In addition, ADVANT Altana has significant expertise in a number of heavily regulated industries which are reliant on manufacturing, such as computer software and hardware, electronics, automotive and transport, fashion and luxury, life sciences, petrochemicals, energy, food and beverages, and any other product subject to market surveillance regulations. We are able to bring deep understanding of, and a valuable perspective on, our clients’ particular business environment and unique challenges to help them stay ahead of the game.
