The great expertise from the inside out

You don't need a consultant who takes an academic view of your business from a large distance and makes well-paid but impractical recommendations?

Are you looking for real support in the further development of your company?

Then you've come to the right place.

We won't explain your own core competencies to you, but will help you to focus on them and still develop your company.

As the Falkenstein general planning office, we have been planning for over 70 years for the food industry and not only have the obligatory knowledge and experience in the areas of technology, processes, technical building equipment and architecture.

We also have - perhaps exclusively - decades of experience in the management and strategic development of craft and industrial businesses with operational responsibility.

From this wealth of experience, we know that the ideal solution is not always appropriate to the requirements of the company and the available budget, but that the optimal solution will lead to sustainable business success.

The optimal direction and development of your company is determined and planned in a personal exchange at an equal footing and constructive discussions.

• Energy efficiency
• Architecture

• German and European food law
• Animal welfare
• Food defense

• International food standards such as IFS or BRC
