Unternehmensberatung & Consulting International

IPIC AG has been a sought-after partner for many years when it comes to transparency and optimisation in companies and organisations. REFA started as an association whose foundation goes back to 1924. Since then, we have been able to grow steadily over the last few decades through our consistent professionalisation, culminating in an independent public limited company that can also easily handle comprehensive consulting projects and qualification programmes - worldwide.

Today, renowned companies from industry and the service sector rely on the know-how of our certified consultants and trainers in matters of time management, process optimisation and Lean Management. In our counselling, we focus on a practical approach - as few formalities as possible, but more personal and open contact.

We are where you need us.


With our own locations in the DACH region and selected cooperation partners in more than 20 countries, we are wherever you need us. In this way, we ensure a professional and practical analysis on the spot to deliver precise and sustainable results. Our on-site support is an important basis for an effective and trusting cooperation without obstacles. Our consultants think strategically, but do not stop at analyses and concepts. Rather, where necessary, they also lend a hand in implementation and contribute their expertise - be it in selective improvement tasks or in complex optimisation projects. The REFA methods used by our consultants have been applied successfully in numerous projects, both nationally and internationally.
