Where we work

Where we work

One discipline, precise roots. The territories where we are strongest.

Krymax Studio operates from a precise triangle — Lugano, Milano and Ancona — along a cross-border Europe↔Gulf axis. From these roots we run mandates across Switzerland and Italy and, on request, in major international markets, expanding into Europe, the Middle East and Dubai.

The roots are a choice, not an accident. Lugano and Ticino give us the Swiss signature — discipline, confidentiality, governance standards — at the crossroads with northern Italy; Milano keeps us on the pulse of Italian industry and capital; Ancona and the Marche are our engineering and manufacturing base. Onto this triangle we graft a Europe↔Gulf axis already crossed, not studied at a desk.

Each territory below is a door into the same method — Strategy, Structure, Control — read with the terms and data native to that market: interim and fractional management where needed, value creation for funds, family governance and internationalisation. Choose the marketplace that concerns you; Italian fluency and the Swiss standard are the starting point, not a geographic limit.

On the international axis, we support companies moving into the Middle East and the Gulf — with Dubai opening — bringing the same rigour to the standard global capital and partners expect: market-entry strategy, corporate structure and governance aligned across jurisdictions, without the errors that derail cross-border operations when method and on-the-ground stewardship are missing.

The territories

Lugano & Ticino

Lugano is our home — where Swiss discipline meets Italian business culture. From here we support entrepreneurs, holdings and families with executive direction, governance and family-office advisory across Switzerland and Italy: Swiss rigour, Italian fluency, and the neutrality that is almost impossible to hold from inside a family or a board. We run cross-border mandates and, on request, work internationally.

Switzerland & DACH

Interim management and fractional leadership for the Mittelstand and industrial groups across Switzerland, Germany and Austria — experienced steering when a leadership gap, a turning point or a value-creation programme leaves no time to lose. Swiss governance discipline, hands-on execution, and a measurable first 100 days, for owners, boards and funds who want results rather than recommendations.

Milan & Italy

Senior direction, fractional and temporary management and value creation for structured SMEs, the mid-market and fund-owned companies across Italy. We bring large-company capability into the businesses that need it — to steer growth, a turning point or a value programme — with Swiss method, in-person presence and accountability for the result. An hour from Milan, close to Italy's industrial fabric.

Interim management, value creation and governance for industrial groups, the Mittelstand and portfolio companies in the Zurich economic area. In Switzerland's leading business and financial centre, we bring experienced steering, board-level governance and a measurable first 100 days — for owners, boards and funds who want results, not slides.

Dubai & the GCC

Cross-border direction between Europe and the Gulf: market entry, governance and execution for groups expanding to or from the UAE. Krymax is opening in Dubai, extending a discipline already proven on capital-intensive, cross-border programmes across Europe and the Middle East — a Swiss standard of governance combined with first-hand experience of large industrial programmes in the region. Direction that works on both sides, not advice that stops at the border.
