"For RHI Magnesita as a global group and world market leader in the refractories sector for industrial high-temperature processes above 1,200 °C, permanent adherence to embargoes, export controls and financial sanctions are among the most important compliance issues. Against this background, we commissioned Hagemann Trade Compliance Consulting to analyse our group-wide export control in terms of organisation, roles, responsibilities, procedures and SAP processes, to identify possible improvements and to implement these together with us. For this purpose, Mr. Hagemann spent about four months on site at our headquarters.
Together with Hagemann Trade Compliance Consulting, we were able to implement export control even more strongly across divisions and assign defined roles and responsibilities to the relevant group units in Austria and abroad. In this context, Mr. Hagemann was able to convince as an expert and trainer for Trade Compliance Management Systems as well as through his practice-oriented solutions and processes. We will be happy to work with him in the future as well, if required".

„Against the background of constantly evolving structures and product portfolios, we wanted to ensure that we could continue to comply with all trade compliance regulations at our central production site in Wattens. For this reason, we have appointed Hagemann Trade Compliance Consulting to carry out a comprehensive audit of the existing responsibilities and processes for customs law, foreign trade law and export control. Mr. Hagemann spent more than nine months here on site. Together, we also carried out several trade compliance-relevant master data analyses, from which important optimization options could be derived. As a result, with Hagemann Trade Compliance Consulting we were able to further improve our trade compliance organization and processes and clearly specify the corresponding roles and responsibilities. Mr. Hagemann was able to convince us with his professional expertise and pragmatic solution approaches. He was a valued contact person for Trade Compliance across all departments. We will be happy to continue working with Mr. Hagemann in the future if required."

“Starting point of our cooperation with Hagemann Trade Compliance Consulting was that we wanted our company-wide export control to have analysed by an external specialist and respective improvements of it if necessary. For this purpose, Mr. Hagemann spent a little more than two months with us on site. Together, we conducted a detailed cross-departmental analysis of existing roles, responsibilities, documents, workflows, and IT processes for export control. Parallel and with a global view, the Group-wide roles, responsibilities, standards and reporting lines for export control were precisely worked out in close coordination with the management and anchored in appropriate policies in writing.
We were very satisfied with the fast progress of the project, the pragmatic improvements at a high level and the convincing expertise of Mr. Hagemann. We look forward to continuing our cooperation with him in the future.”
