Case Study: The Lauridsen Group, Inc. achieves 2–3‑day site deployments, lower TCO and unified SASE security with Aryaka

Global Manufacturer Adopts Unified SASE as a Service to Secure User Access and Filter Network and Security Traffic All The Time from Anywhere

The Lauridsen Group (LGI) is a century-old global manufacturer and distributor in health and nutrition with more than 60 sites across 20 countries and 501–1,000 employees. After replacing MPLS with Meraki SD‑WAN, LGI found the mixed infrastructure increasingly difficult and costly to manage—multiple hardware stacks, varied last‑mile providers and no converged security created operational headaches and inflated total cost of ownership.

In 2022 LGI moved to Aryaka’s fully managed SD‑WAN and in 2024 adopted Aryaka Unified SASE as a Service to replace its managed virtual firewall, choosing Aryaka for converged network and security, proven SD‑WAN performance and granular user access control. The change cut new‑site provisioning from weeks to 2–3 days, lowered TCO, delivered single‑pane visibility and stronger security controls, and greatly reduced vendor and management complexity.
