The story of cbs Corporate Business Solutions is a journey of focused expertise and global expansion, culminating in the establishment of its significant American presence. What began in 1995 in Heidelberg, Germany, as a vision by former SAP consultants to provide unparalleled consulting services, has blossomed into a leading international consultancy. The parent company, cbs Corporate Business Solutions, was founded on the principle of delivering excellence to the world's market leaders, specializing in the complex needs of the manufacturing, pharmaceutical, chemical, and automotive industries. For over two decades, they honed their skills, building a reputation as the 'hidden champion' for digital end-to-end business process solutions, with a deep-seated expertise in the SAP ecosystem. This dedication to quality and innovation led to consistent growth, and by its 20th anniversary in 2015, the company was already celebrating with 200 employees and eyeing international horizons.

The expansion into the North American market marked a pivotal chapter in the cbs narrative. Recognizing the immense potential and the demand for high-quality SAP consulting in the United States, the company established cbs Corporate Business Solutions America Inc. This move was not merely about planting a flag; it was a strategic endeavor to bring their unique, end-to-end business transformation portfolio to a new continent. Under the leadership of Lorenz Praefcke, CEO of the American subsidiary, the company began its journey in the US, securing its first major project in 2015. Since then, cbs America has established offices in key locations like Devon, Pennsylvania, to support its North American consulting organization. It carries forward the parent company's legacy, delivering high-end, quality solutions and technology services to large industrial corporations running on SAP. The American team is an integral part of the global cbs family, which now boasts over 1,600 experts across more than 35 locations worldwide, all working towards a unified goal: to enable global market leaders to extend their lead through innovative, best-in-class corporate solutions.
