Consultants deliver reports, we also deliver customers.
One partner, from first conversation to result.
The person
I am Christian Drenth, founder of DreCo Insights.
27 years in European component manufacturing. Operating history across France, Germany, Slovenia and the Benelux. Roles from sales engineer to general manager to integration leader. I am fluent in Dutch, English, French, and German.
In every role, my responsibilities covered both strategy and results.
The lesson that shaped how I work
Early in my career, a partner from a large consulting firm told me I did not know how to sell.
At the time it hurt. Looking back, he had a point. I was too focused on the product, not on the problem the customer was trying to solve.
That lesson sits behind everything DreCo does now. We start with your problem, not our service.
How we are different
Most consultants hand over the report and move on. We stay on board until the plan is taking effect.
That means working next to your management, sales and engineering teams. Preparing customer meetings. Opening doors. Supporting negotiations. Correcting course when the market moves.
Companies rarely lack strategy. They often lack ownership of execution. DreCo Insights exists to close that gap.
How we work
01
Position and clarity
We map your current position in the automotive value chain. Customer portfolio, product relevance, market exposure. The output is a fact based view of risks and realistic growth paths.
02
Plan with priorities
We turn that map into priorities, actions and clear targets. We define target markets, component groups, OEMs and Tier 1s. Internal teams agree on one shared direction.
03
Execution with your teams
We work next to management, sales and engineering. We prepare OEM meetings, open doors and support negotiations. Course corrections happen in real time.
04
Position kept, risk reduced
We stay involved to keep momentum. Customer dependency drops. Your position widens across growing component groups.
The firm today
I lead DreCo Insights as the sole full time partner. A network of specialists is drawn in by name when an engagement needs it.
One person is responsible for both strategy and results, from the first conversation to the last.
Christian’s analysis of the European automotive supply chain also appears in the industry press.
A first conversation, no obligation
We believe business is all about people.
So a first conversation is just that. A conversation. We look at where the business stands today, the immediate risks, and one or two moves worth testing.
No presentation. No sales talk. No follow up unless you ask for it.
