- 2025 marks the strongest year in the firm's history (> €1bn revenue)
- Above-market growth across all core regions: especially in Asia +19%
- Targeted acquisitions strengthen presence in key growth segments
SINGAPORE - Newsaktuell - 8 June 2026 - Global strategy consultancy Roland Berger generated revenues of €1.01bn in 2025, making it the most successful year in the firm's history. In Asia the company significantly outperformed the market with the +19% growth year-on-year, followed by double-digit growth in other core markets.
The result was achieved in a more demanding market environment, with clients placing greater emphasis on efficiency and measurable outcomes. Growth was driven by projects focused on integrating AI solutions, digitising processes, and optimising supply chains.
Denis Depoux, Global Managing Director of Roland Berger, said: "2025 was the most successful year in our firm's history. Our Asia region contributed proportionally more to this growth with +19% year-on-year. This performance is driven by the increasing need for transformation and regionalization of supply chains in Asia, for global as well as Asian multinational companies. Across Asia, addressing regional, as well as export-driven growing demand, requires fast transformation of value chains, from innovation, faster product development cycles to quality and cost improvement in manufacturing. In a turbulent geopolitical context, being the only global strategy consultancy with European roots is a clear competitive advantage for us."
Expansion of the global network
Roland Berger further expanded its international footprint in 2025 and is now present on all continents following the opening of its office in Sydney, Australia. Its US presence was strengthened with a fifth office in Houston, strategically located in a global hub for the energy and chemicals industries.
Through targeted acquisitions, the firm has also expanded its capabilities in selected specialist segments. The newly established entity "Ralf Schmitz CRO Management" has been deploying experienced Chief Restructuring Officers (CROs) to companies since November 2025 to lead complex restructuring programmes.
With the acquisition of the battery-focused consulting team from ALEXEC Consulting, Roland Berger has strengthened its position in a sector that is becoming increasingly critical to the global industrial landscape.
Focus on profitability and data-driven transformation in 2026
For 2026, Roland Berger expects market conditions to remain challenging and will focus on profitability and sustainable development. At the same time, the firm continues to invest in strengthening its AI and data capabilities to better support clients in implementing and scaling new technologies.
With its investment in the startup CNTR, founded by serial entrepreneur Jonas Andrulis, Roland Berger is also taking an active role in shaping the next phase of the global AI transformation. CNTR develops a new form of collaborative AI for industrial applications.

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 July 2026 - Shanghai Commercial Bank ("Shacom Bank") today unveiled the new look of its West Point Branch at Catchick Street, Kennedy Town, following a comprehensive upgrade. Established in 1962, the branch has served the Western District for over six decades and remains an integral part of the community. The revitalization not only breathes new life into a longstanding neighbourhood landmark but also delivers a new banking experience that reflects Shacom Bank's commitment to technological innovation, sustainability and community values.
New Automated Safe Deposit Box Service Championing Privacy and Security
A key highlight of the upgrade is the launch of a brand new automated safe deposit box service. Shacom Bank is the first bank in Hong Kong to introduce robotic arm delivery technology, enabling safe deposit boxes to be automatically retrieved and delivered directly to a private room for customers. With more than 1,600 safe deposit boxes in various sizes, the branch caters to strong customer demand for secure safe deposit box service.
After completing identity verification at the safe deposit box service counter, customers receive a one-time QR code to access a private room. The robotic arm system then delivers the designated safe deposit box directly to the customer, who can open it with their personal key without entering the vault to access the box, significantly enhancing privacy. The technology also eliminates the need for customers to carry the boxes manually – particularly those located at higher levels – thereby removing the risk of injury during retrieval.
To celebrate the grand opening of West Point Branch, customers who open or upgrade to Shacom Bank "SMART Banking"1 service can enjoy a 20% discount on the first-year rent for safe deposit box service.
Sustainable Design and Modern Green Branch
With a usable floor area of more than 7,000 square feet, the branch features an optimized spatial design and presents a stylish, contemporary look. The new branch, designed by a leading hospitality design team, features an overall layout and design that are both centered on delivering an exceptional customer experience. Its spacious layout and premium materials perfectly embody Shacom Bank's motto, "For Personalized Service." Departing from the traditional counter model, the Wealth Management Centre on the first floor offers private meeting rooms and dedicated relationship managers, creating a more premium yet welcoming setting for wealth management services. A warm, wood-based design palette is adopted throughout the branch. The lobby counter has been reconfigured with the overhead frame removed and curved edges, reducing visual barriers and enhancing the sense of openness.
Championing green building principles, the branch incorporates low-carbon, recycled and internationally certified sustainable materials. In the back-office areas, eco-friendly carpet and flooring have been installed, equivalent to recycling up to 168,050 discarded PET plastic bottles. Other construction materials also meet various international environmental standards and certifications, including the GreenGuard Gold-certified flooring and Global GreenTag-certified wood veneers used extensively in panelling and millwork. Intelligent temperature control and energy-saving LED lighting systems are also expected to significantly reduce annual electricity consumption, creating a modern, comfortable and environmentally responsible banking environment.
Mr. Varden Choi, Managing Director, Chief of Branch Banking at Shanghai Commercial Bank, said, "Our newly renovated West Point Branch embodies our motto "For Personalized Service" and delivers an enhanced banking experience. Recognizing the growing demand for convenient and secure safe deposit box services, we are pleased to introduce an automated solution that combines financial technology with the strengths of traditional banking."
He added, "For over 60 years, our West Point Branch has grown alongside the community, earning the trust and fond memories of generations of customers. By introducing the new automated safe deposit box service and incorporating sustainable building design elements at the new branch, we aim to deliver more forward-looking and caring services, ushering in a new era of banking together with the Western District community and customers across Hong Kong."
