German M&A in a Shifting Europe

Mergers & acquisitions in Europe is being shaped by a combination of structural, economic and geopolitical pressures. With a softening economic environment and ongoing technological disruption, companies are being pushed to refocus their strategies.
 
Michael Cramer, Managing Director, Greenhill Industrials Frankfurt, explores how Germany, while reflecting on Europe’s broader challenges, faces its own unique pressures. The country’s industrial foundation is being tested by rising energy costs and increasing competition from China. Companies are now adapting rapidly, cutting costs and rethinking their competitive positioning.
 
At the same time, Europe’s geopolitical landscape is reshaping corporate priorities, and with the right strategy, companies can emerge stronger, more focused and better positioned to compete globally.
