Industries

Food and beverage, CPG and industrial, and the investors who own them.

Three industries. One standard: everyone we send has run a plant like yours.

01 Industry

Food and Beverage

Retailers don't wait for plants to catch up.

Protein, frozen, plant-based, beverage and branded food.

Margin, service and audits are all won on the same floor.

  • Where the plan breaks.
  • What it costs you.
  • What to fix first.

02 Industry

Consumer Products

Same retailers. Same scorecards. Same pressure.

Personal care, household products and the packaging behind consumer brands.

Consumer brands are won on the plant floor, not the shelf.

  • Cost per unit.
  • Service to the retailer.
  • Speed to launch.

03 Industry

Industrial

Customers buy on spec and on time.

Specialty chemicals, aerosols, automotive and oilfield components, and engineered products.

Industrial margin is made at the bottleneck.

  • Throughput on the constraint.
  • Scrap and rework.
  • On time to the customer's date.

04 Industry

Private Equity

The value is made on the plant floor.

Operational diligence before close, the first 100 days, value creation and exit readiness. We work for the value, not against the portfolio CEO.

The plan in the model has to survive the plant.

  • What the plant can really deliver.
  • What to fix in the first 100 days.
  • What it's worth at exit.
