Industrial Markets
Industrial Markets is KPMG's broad definition of engineering technology-based industries that includes aerospace and defense, machinery and electrical equipment, metal processing and metal products.

Though there are many segment specific issues, there are four recurring themes across these diverse markets where KPMG works with its clients:

Strategy Implementation - What shape should my business be in to compete in the future?
Globalization - How do manufacturers of all sizes deal with global supply and customers?
Cost Reduction - How to address total costs from tax to machine tooling?
Customization/Added Value - How to enhance margins through focus and service?
KPMG's services for industrial markets are all aligned to support our clients and address the principal issue of shareholder value through strategies aimed at these four themes. KPMG aims to assist its industrial clients in demonstrating to their shareholders that they offer a competitive rate of return through growth, added value and cost control.

This is achieved through a well-established track record in deploying a range of strategies for clients, the highlights of which are outlined on this site.

KPMG's approach can be best summarized by a recent quote from an engineering client:

"KPMG's team had an in-depth understanding of our business. They applied best practice directly to make a difference. Best of all they took time to explain what they were doing and transfer their skills."

KPMG's Global Industrial Products practice is headed by a Global Chairman, supported by an industry leadership team and a network of country-based professionals.
