a leading PE-backed industrial manufacturer boosts EBITDA by $30M+ with GEP

A leading PE-backed industrial manufacturer faced significant risk and margin loss due to over 85% of its direct materials being single-sourced from suppliers in high-cost regions. The private equity firm engaged vendor GEP to help build supply chain resilience and increase profitability.

GEP restructured the manufacturer's sourcing strategies and diversified its supplier base through disciplined execution. This reshaped the client's supply network and reduced direct material costs by 19%. The solution delivered over $30 million in sustainable EBITDA gains for the manufacturer without sacrificing reliability.
