A founder-owned manufacturer with high customer concentration experienced rapid growth with new products to a new consumer segment. The manufacturing and assembly processes were entirely manual and absent any planning and process support software (ERP, BOM). A strong relationship with a private equity firm under the letter of intent and a new CEO who had been groomed for two years formed the basis of succession. Kroll provided operations expertise to develop the roadmap to reposition the business for the next phase of growth.
