adminisMUNICH (SUNDIATA POST) – Roland Berger has announced the acquisition of Alexec Consulting, a Wroclaw-based advisory firm specialising in operational and technical solutions for the global battery and electric vehicle industries.
The deal, unveiled Tuesday in Munich and Wrocław, is aimed at strengthening Roland Berger’s capabilities in one of the fastest-growing segments of the global energy transition.
The battery sector has become increasingly critical to the global economy, driven by the rapid expansion of electric mobility and energy storage. Roland Berger estimates that worldwide investment across the battery value chain could reach between €850 billion and €900 billion by 2035.
Demand for battery cells is also expected to grow significantly, rising by about 12 percent annually globally and as much as 17 percent per year in Europe over the same period.

According to Marcus Berret, the acquisition reflects the firm’s strategy to deepen its industry expertise as the energy transition accelerates.
“Batteries are integral to critical infrastructure, data centres, and the path towards climate neutrality,” Berret said. “Global battery markets are at a strategic tipping point that requires rapid industrial execution. With Alexec Consulting, we are bringing highly skilled technical experts into our ecosystem to create more value for our clients.”
Founded in 2020, Alexec Consulting has built a strong reputation within the battery ecosystem, advising companies on battery-cell research and development, system operations, cost optimisation, and factory and supply-chain management. The firm has also led mission-critical operational task forces for leading automotive manufacturers and battery producers.
Idriss Alami said the partnership would enable the company to scale its expertise globally.
“Joining forces with Roland Berger is the ideal way for us to expand internationally,” Alami said. “Through Roland Berger’s global network and brand, we will gain access to new markets and top-tier clients.”
Jan Wasserbaech added that the integration would combine Alexec’s deep technical capabilities with Roland Berger’s strategic advisory strengths, allowing the firm to support companies across the entire electromobility value chain—from concept development to industrialisation and factory ramp-up.
The acquisition marks another step in Roland Berger’s global expansion strategy as the consulting firm seeks to play a larger role in shaping the future of electrification and battery manufacturing worldwide.
