Cost reduction group needed to immediately cut costs
A private equity firm acquired a leading plastics company that designed and manufactured innovative plastic-injection-molded products. The firm believed there was room for improvement and cost reductions in the company’s supply contracts. Still, it lacked certainty given the nature of the portfolio company’s products and its specific resin grades. The firm asked us to connect it with a best-in-class cost-reduction group with deep expertise in this particular need.
We quickly met with the client to understand their specific needs
We first interviewed the PE firm to understand the nuances of its needs and the unique challenges involved with post-transaction efforts to reduce costs. Then we quickly matched these criteria to the pre-vetted candidates from our invitation-only network, rooted in our founder’s 20 years of PE industry experience. Based on our proprietary approach, the PE firm hired a group of resources with the exact plastics market experience they needed, as well as key relationships with manufacturers.
Cost reduction group saved our client more than $10m
The vetted group identified more than $10 million in annual savings and created more than $80 million of pro forma enterprise value.
