Torsten Althaus

Successful realignment of international purchasing at H2Stamping (formerly Härter)

"The restructurer had a bottleneck in purchasing due to personnel outflow and brought me on board as interim purchasing manager within a few days and gave me the following priorities: elimination of advance payments to suppliers and optimization of payment terms, inventory reduction, savings concept and its implementation, management and development of a professional international purchasing department. H2Stamping has plants in China, the USA and Poland in addition to its German headquarters. It was also my job to rebuild and restructure the purchasing team, as there were significant personnel changes as a result of the restructuring."

How the proven interim manager Torsten Althaus built up a strong global team with the support of the management and the private equity company Orlando and optimized processes in order to sustainably increase efficiency and liquidity.

Study on the shortage of skilled workers in Germany

Why Germany urgently needs qualified immigration.

A study by the Institute for Employment Research and the Coburg University of Applied Sciences shows that the German labor market is dependent on immigration from non-EU countries. This is due to the ageing of society and the decline in the workforce.

Neither the influx of foreigners in recent years nor rising birth rates since 2011 have been able to compensate for this. According to the study, Germany needs 260,000 immigrants per year to meet its labor needs. Immigration from the EU alone is not enough; third countries would have to contribute 146,000 people per year.

Even a higher birth rate or more working women and older people would not be able to meet the demand on their own. An immigration law for skilled workers is intended to bring specifically required qualifications to Germany.
