Ludwigsburg – In the renowned Automobilwoche ranking of the 25 biggest IT service providers/consultants for the automotive industry, MHP has moved up two places compared with the previous year and is now in third place. The decisive factor for the evaluation is the turnover with automotive companies in Germany. Here, MHP achieved a turnover of around 400 million Euro in financial year 2018, which corresponds to an increase of 33 per cent on financial year 2017. MHP thus grew significantly more strongly than the direct competitors and the market. The overall turnover of the top 25 IT service providers thus increased by 0.6 per cent compared with 2017 (4.4 billion Euro). The majority of the top 25 IT service providers/consultants stated political and economic uncertainty and the lack of qualified staff as reasons for the stagnation in turnover development. Dr. Ralf Hofmann, founder, shareholder and Chairman of the Board of MHP: "The challenges posed by digitalization, electromobility and increasing global competition shaped the automotive industry in 2018. In this environment, we see ourselves as companions paving the way for our customers – above all in the automotive industry. We are therefore especially pleased to feel the trust placed in us by our customers in the form of our turnover development. The fact that we are very well placed as mobility and digitalization experts, and that our consultancy expertise is in greater demand than ever on the market, strengthens us in the implementation of our MHPStrategy2025. We will continue to shape MHP as a partner for mobility and manufacturing in the area of digitalization and sustainable business development in order to jointly ensure a future worth living."
