Growth generates visibility – and visibility requires a strategy.
When the Trench Group, a leading global supplier of components and systems for high-voltage power transmission, was looking for a new communications partner in 2025, the requirement was clear: a consultancy that not only thinks along with them, but thinks ahead. Following a competitive pitch process, ORCA van Loon Communications was awarded the communications mandate for Trench Group and has been providing comprehensive support to the Berlin-based company in the area of strategic corporate communications since October 2025.
The figures speak for themselves: in the 2025 financial year, the Trench Group recorded revenue growth of over 30 per cent to 906.5 million euros – the second year running with a growth rate of this magnitude. With a record order book of around €2 billion and a global expansion of capacity across several countries, the company faces a communications challenge that requires strategic depth, an international perspective and a clear understanding of stakeholder expectations. This is precisely where ORCA van Loon comes in.
At ORCA van Loon, the account is managed by Frederike Buddensiek (Senior Consultant) and Jakob Baugirdis (Partner), who work directly with Ulrich Künster, Vice President of Communications, Marketing & Public Affairs at the Trench Group. “The close link with the communications management team enables a strategically integrated collaboration – from strategic positioning and the development of thought leadership through to media relations , to targeted LinkedIn communication, which raises the profile of executives and the company as credible voices in the energy sector,” explains Hendrik Schulze van Loon, Managing Partner at ORCA van Loon Communications.
Our collaboration with the Trench Group is a prime example of a growing need: at a time when the energy transition, the expansion of global electricity grids and the boom in data centre infrastructure are shaping public perception, strategic communication is becoming a decisive competitive factor. For technology-driven, internationally operating companies, it is not an optional extra – but a prerequisite for sustainable success.
