In a May 2025 interview with EMSNOW, Alexander Hagemann, CEO of Cicor Group, discussed the company's evolution since he joined in 2016. He described the organization he found as technologically advanced but siloed, top-heavy, and not fully integrated. Hagemann stated that Cicor decided in 2017 not to enter the automotive market, which he characterized as potentially bumpy and quickly commoditized, instead focusing on aerospace, defense, healthcare, and industrial applications. He noted that Cicor's largest shareholder, One Equity Partners, provides a "very valuable consulting service" regarding acquisition discipline, valuation, and integration, which the company runs in-house. Hagemann also offered his outlook for the European electronics manufacturing services industry, predicting further consolidation into a number of billion-euro-plus companies alongside many specialized small businesses. He described Morocco as an "underrated country for manufacturing" due to its cost, technology, proximity, and free trade agreements, noting that Cicor has two sites there with over 200 employees.
