Food and beverage portco critically needs procurement consulting group
A PE firm VP came to us with a critical need for a raw materials procurement strategy consulting group for their food and beverage portco. Having recently acquired the platform that was growing rapidly, they needed a group that could develop and implement a sophisticated purchasing and procurement strategy for them. With COVID and inflation leading to supply chain issues and fluctuating prices on their raw materials, they urgently needed a procurement expert with experience in PE & this section of the food and beverage raw materials market that could dig into the numbers and create a tactical plan.
