Production outsourcing to other European countries
Outsourcing to Eastern Europe means relocating production to countries such as Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary or Slovenia. These countries are particularly attractive for production outsourcing because wages and ancillary costs are significantly lower. In addition, logistics and rental costs are much cheaper compared to Germany.
Our company advises you on all aspects of relocating production to Eastern Europe and on outsourcing in general. There are many economic reasons to outsource production and business processes to Eastern Europe. By outsourcing individual tasks, you lower your operational costs. At the same time, you reduce HR management expenses and have fewer employment contracts to conclude and oversee. Another major advantage is greater flexibility: you're not tied to permanent staff. For these reasons, many companies have already opted for this type of outsourcing, mostly still within Germany.
Take it a step further! You can unlock significantly greater savings potential by using service providers in other European countries. As an experienced agency in this field, we can connect you with the right outsourcing partner.
How does outsourcing to Eastern Europe work in the automotive industry?
Outsourcing or relocating production to Eastern Europe is being used more and more frequently, especially in the German automotive industry. For years, German car manufacturers have been producing in Eastern Europe and Asia with the help of foreign companies, as there are many advantages to relocating production in the automotive sector.
For example, Poland is the largest European production hub for car parts from the world's leading automotive manufacturers. The automotive industry is the second most important pillar of the Polish economy, as Poland is the main supplier of parts for the automotive industry across Europe. This is due to the high qualifications of the Polish workforce and relatively low labour costs. Read more>>
Outsourcing in the chemical industry
Which processes does your company want to handle in-house, and which are better handed over to an external service provider? This is a key question for companies in the chemical industry. In this sector, relocating production to Eastern Europe isn't just about cutting costs, it's also about optimizing processes across the entire supply chain and boosting international competitiveness.
Outsourcing production to Eastern Europe encourages companies to rethink workflows and reduce complexity, though it's not the simplification itself that drives outsourcing, but rather a result of it.
Why relocate production to Eastern Europe?
In general, outsourcing to other European countries is suitable for all services that do not need to be carried out directly on-site.

What are the advantages of outsourcing to Eastern Europe?
When it comes to outsourcing or relocating production to Eastern Europe, the advantages are numerous—and many of them are obvious. Unlike distant regions like China or South America, Eastern Europe is geographically close and easy to reach at short notice.
Another key benefit is the strong language skills compared to other regions, many people in Eastern Europe speak both German and English. Availability, experience, and qualifications of Eastern European workers are also crucial advantages.
