Duke & Kay and Studio Temporary Manager™ – A Valtus Company, both already part of the Valtus Alliance, combine their competences and announce their merger into a single operating company based in Milan.
This strategic synergy makes it possible to offer domestic and foreign companies an integrated service in the areas of restructuring, interim management, international expansion and M&A. This will enable Management Factory to provide even better support to Austrian clients with subsidiaries and challenges in Italy.
Recently, TIM MANAGEMENT and CONTRACT MANAGER Temporary Management Solutions also announced their merger in Italy – a sign that the previously very fragmented Italian interim management market is becoming increasingly consolidated.
Back to Valtus, STM and Duke & Kay: In addition to Maurizio Ria, Paola Mucci, Francesca Ivaldi, Attilio Di Scala and Giuseppe Falcone will also be working in the Milan office.
