Together with leading MRO suppliers in other European countries, Patrick Kistenpfennig established the Service Alliance for Europe, the first pan-European distribution, sales, and service alliance of this kind with the aim of providing high customer-satisfaction by being multi-lingual as well as domestic.
But why an alliance of independent distributors instead of high capital investments into branch structure? At that time the answer was easy, organising an alliance based on established market leaders was and is much faster than a country-by-country expansion or acquisition strategy. And furthermore it allows access to a higher number of individual brands and manufacturers.
Further advantages:
- Increase of market share
- Increase of profitability by:
- capacity arrangements
-
other synergies of local infrastructure (more volume - less costs)
- procurement based on standardised equipment
