Multi-award-winning procurement professionals
Our motto: „We don't talk, we implement.“
We stand for pragmatic, goal-oriented implementation rather than long speeches – with sound expertise, team spirit and clear specialisation in purchasing, logistics and SCM.
Our performance is convincing Numerous national and international awards, as well as top rankings in independent assessments, confirm our success and approach.
„Awards can help companies orient themselves and find the right consultants. Therefore, we are very excited that we have once again received the most well-known national award from the renowned business magazine “brand eins” in 2025 and are thus among Germany's “Best Management Consultants”.
This year it is a special honour, as we celebrate our 10th anniversary award-Anniversary! As the award has been presented since 2014, with one exception, the Kloepfel Group has received an award every year since the award's inception.“
Alexander Hornickel
„The American business magazine Forbes has once again included the Kloepfel Group in its list of „World’s Best Management Consulting Firms“ this year, awarding us this international title for the third time in a row.
As in previous years, Kloepfel received the second-highest rating of 4 stars, placing it among the „frequently recommended“ companies. We are delighted that this means we can count ourselves among the best consulting firms, not just in Germany, but worldwide!“

So asked Forbes:
Our expertise is demonstrated by the satisfaction of our customers.
„Thanks to the diligence of your consultancy services, we became convinced that we had appointed the right partner for the project. You advised us expertly, without ever neglecting our requirements. The savings target you initially communicated was significantly exceeded.“
„Given the positive impression, both professionally and interpersonally, we can unreservedly recommend further collaboration with Kloepfel Consulting.“
„Shirt-sleeves, pragmatic, team-oriented. In other words: no out-of-touch consultants, but doers. Furthermore, every project step was transparent to us through, for example, reports and prior discussions.“
„Besides the fact that the projected savings potential was even exceeded, the very good atmosphere and the communicative, peer-to-peer collaboration are highly commendable, as is the implementation-oriented approach.
„Kloepfel Consulting was our choice for project implementation because they have a reputation for particular expertise in recruiting for purchasing positions with experts. The collaboration was trusting and characterised by low bureaucracy. Due to the overall excellent collaboration, we are happy to recommend the company.“
„The project outcome was positively influenced by the seniority of the purchasing experts, mostly former heads of purchasing, as well as the competent and appreciative collaboration with our strong internal purchasing team.“
