Stable Growth: T.A. Cook continues to grow during economic crisis thanks to international expansion.

T.A. Cook’s revenues in 2008 increased for the fifth year in a row to 9.1m €. 2007 revenues equated to 7.9m €, amounting to an overall increase of 15.2% for the year. Current staff levels reflect this growth too, in 2008 the number of employees working for T.A. Cook increased from 45 to 50.

“The impact of the economic crisis can be clearly felt in our core industries, because of this we expect 2009 to be a challenging year. To ensure the company’s survival, our aim as asset performance specialists, is to concentrate on offering a focussed range of services. By providing our clients with a compelling business case, we can encourage cyclical investment. On top of that, we are continuing with our international development strategy. “We believe we are well prepared to meet the challenges ahead,” says Dieter Körner, (Managing Partner with T.A. Cook) regarding the company’s position in the face of the current crisis.

As part of its international development strategy, T.A. Cook opened representative offices in the USA and Brazil last year. The management consultancy has been present in the North American market since 1st February 2008 in Raleigh, (North Carolina) which continues to grow steadily. The office in Rio de Janeiro opened at the end of 2008. The Brazilian market, in particular asset intensive sectors such as chemicals, petrochemicals and food & beverages, offer attractive opportunities for the specialised services provided by T.A. Cook.

The international management consultancy T.A. Cook was founded in 1994. The experienced consultants have outstanding industrial knowledge, as well as analytic expertise and the ability to quickly realise productivity gains. A particularly important factor for the continued success of the company is our continued strong customer loyalty which is a result of the excellent long term relationships we foster and the sustainable results we deliver time and again.
