Our company
T.A.S. FORCE stands for operational implementation expertise.
We are not a strategy consultancy, but a team of well-known managers and experts from the automotive and supplier industry. Our mission: to solve difficult tasks in the supply chain, production and quality quickly, in a structured and demonstrably successful manner.
Specialized in the challenges of the automotive and supplier industry
T.A.S. FORCE is a specialized implementation partner with a clear focus on the automotive and supplier industry. We support OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers across the entire industrial value chain — from supply chain and production to quality, industrialization, relocation, and operational turnaround. We intervene rapidly in acute crises and work proactively to stabilize and optimize processes and organizations.
Our team consists of experienced leaders and operational experts with deep product knowledge, technical know-how, and strong methodological expertise. We work in a structured, analytical way with a clear results focus — directly on the shopfloor.
With locations in Germany, Poland, Romania, and Turkey, we bring cultural, linguistic, and operational understanding to the table — solving challenges effectively and on site. We stabilize suppliers, bridge supply shortages, resolve quality issues sustainably, and manage complex relocations — from supplier transfers to full-scale production relocations.
T.A.S. FORCE stands for operational excellence, measurable results and reliable implementation.
Our history
T.A.S. FORCE is the result of decades of collaboration, deep trust and the shared conviction that real solutions can only be created through implementation strength. Our goal was clear from the outset: we wanted to found a company that would start where traditional consulting ends – in operational reality.
The roots of T.A.S. FORCE go back a long way. The Dückers and Farsian families worked closely together over 20 years ago — initially as part of a joint venture for the local production of axle components for ZF Lemförder in the Middle East. This initial business cooperation resulted in a close, friendly relationship that continues to this day and has grown through numerous successful projects.
Dr. Thomas Dückers – a long-standing board member and managing director of well-known automotive suppliers such as ZF, Kostal, Johnson Controls and Bharat Forge – has held management positions in several companies. He brought Arash and Soroush Farsian on board in various mandates: as assistant to the management, plant manager and implementation manager.
Together we realized numerous projects: Restructurings, plant closures, production relocations, post-merger integrations, series start-ups and operational stabilization assignments – including at Richard Fritz, Pearl Stream and other Tier 1 suppliers. From site closures in Germany and production relocations to Slovakia, Hungary or Poland to strategic due diligence projects, M&A support and series start-ups – the list of joint projects is long.
What unites us is a deep knowledge of the industry, a passion for operational excellence, entrepreneurial thinking and an uncompromising commitment to quality, responsibility and honesty. We only make commitments if we are convinced that we can really solve the problem – and we stand by our results.
We founded T.A.S. FORCE in 2020 — with the clear aim of not being a traditional consulting company, but a specialized task force with real implementation expertise. Since then, we have established ourselves as an operational specialist unit in the automotive industry: fast, pragmatic, effective – and always on an equal footing with our customers.
Today, T.A.S. FORCE brings together experienced managers and technical specialists under one roof — with the aim of solving complex problems in the supply chain, production and quality and making companies more successful operationally.

Why T.A.S. FORCE makes the difference on site
Local expertise
Our consultants are based in the respective countries, speak the local language and are familiar with the regulatory framework and the industrial culture of the region.
Cultural understanding
Regional negotiation and decision-making methods are taken into account right from the start. This reduces frictional losses and accelerates project progress.
Rapid operational readiness
Thanks to short travel distances, we can intervene within 24 hours, stabilize critical situations and avoid delivery failures.
Established networks
Long-standing relationships with suppliers, sub-suppliers and authorities facilitate coordination and open up additional scope for action.
Cost-efficient implementation
The use of local teams reduces travel and ancillary costs and enables focused investment in the actual problem solution.
Sound market and supplier knowledge
We know the structures, capacities and risks of the regional supplier landscapes and implement measures precisely where they will achieve the greatest operational benefit.
This combination of local proximity and international management makes T.A.S. FORCE a reliable implementation partner throughout Europe.
