iO Partners and Miebach Consulting have formed a partnership covering seven Central and Eastern European countries, aiming to combine real estate expertise with supply chain engineering capabilities. The alliance, operating within the framework of a JLL preferred partnership agreement, will cover Austria, Czechia, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, and Slovakia.
The point of the JV is to provide solutions to companies who are looking for ways to optimize both their real estate footprint and supply chain operations in industrial markets. It comes at a time of upheaval for the whole manufacturing and logistics sector as companies are being forced to react quickly to changing geopolitics and tariff regimes.
“By joining forces with Miebach, we’re redefining how businesses approach the crucial connection between real estate and supply chain strategy,” says James Fitzgerald, Head of Industrial for iO Partners CEE.
Marcel Reinhardt, Global Head Supply Chain Financing at Miebach expects the partnership to leverage a new tool providing real-time insights on property availability, location, pricing and labor market dynamics. The collaboration continues iO Partners’ strategic push to simplify complex industrial consulting across the CEE region, where industrial and logistics real estate has seen sustained growth despite broader market volatility.
