Ludwigsburg – In the report titled “Manufacturing Industry Services and Solutions – Mid-tier and Specialist IT Firms,” MHP achieved the best possible position. The management and IT consultancy was the only company rated by the ISG Provider Lens® study as a leader in all four key areas of the manufacturing industry. 

Markus Wambach, Group COO at MHP: “This top rating by ISG Provider Lens® underscores our leading role as a transformation partner to the manufacturing industry. As a leader in all four key areas, we regard this accolade as an acknowledgment of our work, but it also serves to motivate us to continue to support our customers with innovative and sustainable solutions in the future.”

Back in November 2025, MHP was named a Rising Star by ISG Provider Lens® in the German market for Data Modernization & AI Services provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). 

Companies are considered leaders if they have a comprehensive range of products and services, a strong market presence, and an established competitive position. The product portfolios and competitive strategies are strongly positioned to secure business in the markets covered by the study. The leading companies are also characterized by their innovative strength and competitive stability. 

The ISG study distinguishes “Leader” from “Product Challenger,” “Market Challenger” and “Contender,” carrying out a detailed evaluation of a company’s capabilities in the areas of Design and Development Services, Smart/Digital Factory Services, Supply Chain and Aftermarket Services, and Technology, Transformation, and Consulting Services.

“Being at the top of the rankings in all key areas of the manufacturing industry confirms our DNA, our experience acquired over almost thirty years, and the clear course we have set, consistently focusing on our customers’ needs. Our success factors include an outstanding performance mindset, real innovative strength, profound technological expertise, the highest quality standards, and a strong partner network with the world’s leading technology companies,” said Federico Magno, Group CEO at MHP.
