Case Study: a PE-owned specialty chemicals and materials company achieves sustainable procurement savings across acquisitions with Maine Pointe

a PE-owned specialty chemicals and materials company achieves 7.5% annualized savings with Maine Pointe

The CEO of a PE-owned specialty chemicals and materials company faced challenges integrating new acquisitions in the US and Europe. To motivate incumbent suppliers and implement sustainable procurement practices across these new plants, the company again engaged Maine Pointe as its supply chain transformation partner.

Maine Pointe implemented its six-step strategic sourcing process, hosted supplier forums, and launched over two dozen strategic sourcing events. This resulted in average annualized benefits of 7.5%, a 3:1 ROI, and a 33% profitability improvement. The engagement also achieved a 60:1 ROI for the PE sponsors upon exit and equipped the client's team with the knowledge to sustain the new procurement management operating system.
