Kloepfel Group on Forbes' Best Consulting Firms List Again

Dusseldorf, August 16th, 2023 — This year, the American business magazine Forbes has once again published its listing of the “World's Best Management Consulting Firms”. The Kloepfel Group is very pleased to be part of this exclusive group of the world's best consultants for the second time in a row.

In 2023, 229 consulting firms from 15 countries made it to the Forbes “World's Best Management Consulting Firms” list. Forbes developed the list in partnership with the statistics portal Statista. For this purpose, extensive online surveys were conducted among clients and executives of consulting firms.

For the Forbes list, the consulting firms are divided into 13 industries and 14 consulting areas. Among other things, topics relating to procurement and supply chain management are taken into account in the “Procurement & Supply Chain Management” category.

In 2023, the Kloepfel Group was also named “Best Consultant” for the eighth year in a row by the business magazine brand eins as well as by the statistics portal Statista.

Marc Kloepfel, CEO of the Kloepfel Group, explains: “Currently, geopolitical risks such as the Ukraine war or a looming Taiwan conflict pose great dangers for companies. Therefore, we create resilient supply chains with our know-how. Likewise, with our help, our customers can leverage the opportunities of digitalization for sustainable supply chains. The award from Forbes fills us with pride and is a further incentive. In close cooperation with EPSA Group, we are committed to a sustainable expansion of our successful course.”

Efe Duran Sarikaya, Managing Director Kloepfel Consulting, says: “We are very pleased to receive the award as a leading global consulting firm. Our heartfelt thanks go to our team, our valued clients, partners and Forbes. Seeing Kloepfel's work recognized in this way is another great motivation.”
