companies
The H2 Group acts as a shareholder in company investments and as a contact for your industrial property. In both business areas, we work together with successful partners who have been established on the market for many years to ensure the highest level of professionalism and security for our clients when handling joint projects. Both business areas are set to grow in the coming months – so we look forward to hearing from you on either of these topics.
At H2 IMC GmbH, we pool our resources for interim management, management consulting, project management and executive development. Our employees are long-standing and successful managers in precisely these areas – we therefore offer comprehensive expertise with which we develop customized solutions and implement them in practice. Incidentally, all employees of H2 IMC GmbH are permanently employed – this ensures customer orientation as the main focus of our work and sustainable cooperation with our customers.

After successfully completing his degree in business administration, he joined an international logistics group, where he held several operational management positions in Germany and abroad.
Since 2011, Frank Henschel has worked exclusively in the industrial environment.

Frank Henschel is characterized by a hands-on mentality and the ambitious pursuit of new challenges and their solutions. He has strong analytical skills and always keeps the defined target state in mind in all his decisions. From this holistic perspective, he is able to quickly derive department-related short-term measures, but also to develop holistic strategies in parallel and ensure that all areas of the company are aligned with them.

We are proud of our work to date and the feedback from our clients. To give you an impression of our work and arouse your interest in working with the H2 Group, we would like to provide you with more detailed information on selected mandates below.
H2 IMC was brought on board by GESCO SE as interim management in a difficult corporate situation.
The economic impact of the crisis in the construction industry led to a significant slump in sales within a very short period of time. After a short time, a clear concept for the holistic restoration of the company’s economic situation was developed. This was then implemented with great commitment and determination together with the company’s managers, resulting in significant successes within a short space of time. It is important for both sides that the handover of the company at the end of the project is prepared very professionally so that the successes achieved are firmly anchored.
Project goals: Increase sales and margins through a clear customer strategy and sustainable cost reductions, reduction of inventories in the finished parts and raw materials warehouse, introduction of an ERP system, optimization and standardization of the entire value chain including procurement and planning processes, development of executives and management
Project successes: Reduction of break-even by 19%, 22% increase in sales for FY 2024, reduction of raw material stock by 35% and finished part stock by 19%, increase in on-time delivery to 98%, eliminate customer backlog within 6 months, introduction of an ERP system within 6 months
H2 IMC’s coaching for our operational management level was always at eye level and promoted the methodological competence and structured approach of the managers.
The communication and content were very well adapted to the recipients and their level of knowledge. I am therefore very satisfied with the results and found the collaboration very pleasant – we were also very efficient with critical issues.
Project goals: Standardized processes for order processing, clear assignment of responsibilities, reduction of resources used, minimization of machine downtimes, managers initiate daily CIP across departments
Project successes: Reduction of operational employees by 25%, reduction of unplanned machine downtimes by 31%, digitalization of order planning and order processing processes, coaching of all operational managers in CIP methodology and completion of a reference project for each department
Following our successful acquisition, we were faced with the challenge of merging two previously operationally completely independent companies into one location. H2 IMC closely supported us in this ambitious process in terms of time and operations and ensured a sustainable improvement in the overall framework conditions. Both the organizational and operational processes were analyzed, largely redesigned and successfully transferred to day-to-day business.
Project goals: Develop a product and market strategy based on the increased portfolio breadth, increase sales and margins by bundling resources and leveraging efficiency potential along the entire value chain, reduce inventories in the finished parts and raw materials warehouse, consolidate, optimize and standardize all relevant planning and control processes, develop and implement a uniform value stream and manufacturing concept for all product areas, reduce customer backlog, develop a management level with a mindset
Project successes: Increase in EBIT by 5%, increase in sales by 12% for FY 2024, reduction in customer backlog by 89% within 12 months, increase in on-time delivery by 46%, reduction in total number of employees by 20%, streamlining of the product portfolio and implementation of a modular product system, implementation of an order and sales FC, implementation of product cost accounting, reorganization of management and the sales area, optimization of all production areas according to lean production, implementation of make-or-buy of all prefabrication processes and subsequent outsourcing of the defined processes
After a period of strong growth, H2 IMC supported us in our organizational development and the establishment of a quality management system. With a high level of methodological expertise and personal support during implementation, they not only helped us to find tailor-made solutions, but also to introduce them successfully. We are very grateful for their professional support in challenging times.
Project objectives: Implementation of a uniform approach to strategy and target cascading, implementation of standardized project management, establishment of a communication model and methodical improvement processes, development and implementation of effective work structures in the operational and technical areas of the company
Project successes: development and establishment of adapted organizational structures with organizational chart, deputy regulations, job descriptions, establishment of meeting structure; new room and office planning with coordination of physical implementation
Strategy and target development including development of a key performance indicator matrix and target derivation for management and executives;
Introduction of OEE evaluation in production;
