PROJECTS

We not just focus

on your project,

we immerse ourselves in it

Ersteberg began in 2016 with our first flagship assignment: board-level supervision of a $410M power plant in Central Asia, developed with GE for a Czech international energy company.

Since then, our work has expanded into diverse sectors — from revitalising a 14th-century Czech brewery and launching one of Europe’s most advanced kombucha production facilities, to leading FC Barcelona’s global licensing and merchandising expansion across energy drinks, wine, coffee, and the prestigious Jacob&Co. watch collection.

Not every engagement can be disclosed, yet the selected highlights below clearly demonstrate our disciplined, in-depth approach to strategy and execution.

Barça global merchandising

Ersteberg has stepped in at Chief Revenue Officer level to support the global licensing and merchandising arm of FC Barcelona. In this role, we are driving the development and market introduction of branded energy drinks, a signature coffee line, limited-edition ice wines, and a luxurious Jacob&Co. watch collection. The initiative spans both European and Latin American markets, representing a long-term, high-visibility project. It is not only commercially significant but also reputational, and Ersteberg is fully committed to delivering excellence at every stage.

50,000 hl kombucha state-of-the-art facility development

Ersteberg partnered with a prospective health drinks producer in the Czech Republic, guiding the project from concept through to investment approval and full operational launch. Initially acting as strategic advisors, we later stepped in at Acting CEO & CFO level to oversee execution across the entire business lifecycle — from site selection and supplier validation to team assembly, contract structuring, and market readiness. This comprehensive approach positioned the venture as one of Europe’s most advanced healthy beverage facilities, built for sustainable growth and long-term global success.

Crafting a global renaissance for a 14th-century Czech classic brewery

Ersteberg was engaged to revitalise a historic 14th-century Czech brewery, stepping in to lead a complete rebranding and the creation of a five-year strategic plan. Acting at Chief Strategy Officer level, we established a new management team and developed a robust commercial strategy focused on export markets. Balancing respect for the brewery’s legacy with modern market demands, our work positioned the brand for renewed growth and international expansion.

200+ MW PV solar portfolio acquisition due diligence to an Austrian renewable fund

Ersteberg provided independent advisory alongside Deloitte to an Austrian renewable investment fund, conducting a market study of the Latvian PV solar sector and leading due diligence for the acquisition of a 200+ MW development portfolio. Our role covered financial, technical, and regulatory evaluation, ensuring alignment with the client’s investment strategy and risk appetite. This work supported a successful acquisition and positioned the fund for long-term growth in the Baltic renewables market.

Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) market development

Ersteberg prepared a five-year market penetration study and investment analysis for a private Central Asian market developer and investor. Building on a comprehensive global-to-local review of energy trends, regulatory frameworks, and market dynamics, we developed specific investment cases aligned with the client’s objectives. The business case was successfully submitted and approved, providing a clear roadmap for long-term market entry and growth.

$410M clean power plant Board-level supervision in the Central Asia

Ersteberg’s very first assignment was supporting a Czech energy developer in Central Asia on a $410M clean power plant (370 MW CCGT). We supervised the ECP contract and led critical aspects of the project, which culminated in its official inauguration by the President of the country. The project centred on the modernisation of the Tashkent power plant, where SYNECTA a.s. acted as the general EPC contractor. Thanks to this modernisation, the plant’s main source of generation became a combined cycle turbine, with both gas and steam turbines supplied by GE Energy, a global leader in turbine technology.

IVECO Bus — contractual framework & order structuring

Ersteberg supported the contractual set-up and financial structuring for a major IVECO bus order. Our role focused on securing a robust multi-year supply framework, aligning commercial terms with operational requirements, and ensuring clarity for all stakeholders. This engagement highlights our ability to combine strategic oversight with detailed execution in the transport and mobility sector.
