More about us

What we do and what drives us

In 1992, we were courageous. Courageous to break new ground and conquer new growth markets. With curiosity and growing know-how of the local conditions, our office in Shanghai grew quickly. The local team as well as our horizon of experience. That is why we are among the pioneers in Asia in the field of consulting. Since 2005 we have our own team of experts in Mumbai. In 2023 we opened another office in Kuala Lumpur and New York.

In the last 30 years, our teams have successfully implemented over 2500 projects in over 50 different countries of the Triad,
Asia - Europe - America.

We enable our clients to achieve a healthy and responsible growth with innovative and sustainable approaches. Business models, supply chains, mergers and new concepts need to be planned with a keen sense of social responsibility - not just profit-driven. Strategy consulting requires clear visions, analytical thinking and innovative action. We have mastered all of this - since our founding and to this day.

Dietmar Kusch

EAC Founder & Partner

"The ongoing structural changes across Asia mark a strategic shift away from a singular focus on China, reflecting a response to the need for robustness in our approaches. Our consulting services are designed to expertly navigate our clients through the complexities of fluctuating markets. This strategic pivot broadens our horizon, not just towards the United States, with its significant government investments and attractive subsidy programs across various sectors, but also highlights the increasing role of Southeast Asia and India in the reconfiguration of global supply chains. While adapting to local competitive dynamics and recognizing the rising significance of regional value chains is critical, acknowledging China's continuous influence remains vital amid these
transformative shifts."
