Hong Kong – August 12, 2024 – Tactical Management, a globally recognized investment firm that specializes in rejuvenating underperforming firms and distressed assets, has reported a spectacular achievement in the automotive sector. The firm’s recent acquisition and turnaround of a financially distressed SME demonstrates its strategic expertise and effective approach to transforming problematic businesses into thriving success stories.
Tactical Management, founded by Dr. Raphael Nagel, has established a good reputation for identifying and capitalizing on investment possibilities in small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) facing major financial issues.

Revitalizing a Struggling Automotive SME
Tactical Management‘s most recent accomplishment focuses on the successful turnaround of an automotive SME that had been experiencing serious financial challenges. With a revenue of around €70 million, the company faced significant issues, such as negative EBITDA, obsolete production techniques, and a misaligned marketing strategy. When Tactical Management bought the company, it was on the point of bankruptcy.
Dr. Raphael Nagel, Tactical Management‘s founding partner, spearheaded a comprehensive reorganization drive aimed at stabilizing and growing the company. The firm’s intervention comprised a comprehensive operational revamp to address the company’s inefficiencies and antiquated methods. Tactical Management implemented sophisticated manufacturing technology and streamlined supply chain management, resulting in considerable cost savings and improved production timeframes.
In addition to operational gains, Tactical Management prioritized financial stability. The firm reorganized the company’s debt, negotiated new terms with creditors, and set up a strong financial management system. These actions relieved immediate financial difficulties and laid a solid platform for future growth.
The strategic restructuring of the company’s market approach was another critical component of the turnaround. Tactical Management’s team undertook a thorough examination of new industry trends and consumer needs, resulting in a repositioning of the company’s product range and marketing strategies. This strategic pivot involved the introduction of new product offerings and a stronger market presence, which resulted in higher sales and revenue growth.
