Case Study: SGS Maine Pointe achieves EBITDA growth and operational recovery with Maine Pointe

SGS Maine Pointe cuts costs by $22.6M and boosts productivity 11% with Maine Pointe

A private equity firm faced significant challenges after acquiring a specialty chemical company that was experiencing severe performance issues, declining productivity, and a steady erosion of EBITDA. The company was struggling with leadership fatigue and below-standard procurement, operations, and logistics functions. The PE firm turned to their preferred partner, Maine Pointe, to bring EBITDA improvements and fill critical leadership gaps.

Maine Pointe employed its Total Value Optimization (TVO) methodology to identify value creation initiatives and mature the company's procurement, operations, and logistics. The results were substantial, including $18.6 million in procurement savings, an 11% improvement in productivity, and $4 million in logistics savings. Maine Pointe's efforts ensured the company's survival despite a 30% volume drop by offsetting margin leakage with these initiatives.
