Case Study: Paint Process Management

Project details

From Challenge to Success: How a UK-Based Company Overcame Obstacles to Launch Operations in Germany On Time

Paint Process Management Ltd (PPM) is a UK-based company that specialises in providing technical support for the painting of vehicles in automotive plants across Europe. In the week before Christmas, PPM received an important and very urgent order from a customer in Germany. In order to carry out this order, PPM had to deploy two technical employees based in Germany to the customer’s site from January 2nd. These two employees had to be convinced to work with PPM and signed up. It was clear that a GmbH would have to be founded for the project in Germany.

Impressions

Cooperation with INDIPA

Partner on the German market

PPM turned to Christoph Schulte from INDIPA to help them overcome this challenge. INDIPA very quickly prepared the establishment of the GmbH, including the opening of a bank account. Christoph Schulte also convinced two employees to work for PPM in personal discussions.

Since the GmbH could not be registered in the commercial register on January 2, INDIPA coordinated with a temporary employment agency, which hired the two employees on a temporary basis.

Once the GmbH was registered, the employees were transferred to it.

Christoph Schulte also supported PPM in dealing with a tricky situation with a competitor.

Result

Quick foundation, fast employment, fantastic!

Thanks to INDIPA’s comprehensive support, PPM was able to enter the German market without any delays. The GmbH was founded quickly, all the administrative hurdles were overcome and the employees were able to start working immediately. Today, the company is still successfully operating in Germany.

  • quick establishment of a GmbH

  • excellent recruitment

  • incredible involvement
