How a PE-Backed Global Manufacturer Cut Supply Risk and Improved Profitability

With over 85% of its direct materials tied to single-sourced suppliers in high-cost regions, a leading private equity (PE)-backed industrial manufacturer was not just losing margins but also exposing itself to significant risk.

The PE firm turned to GEP for help to build resilience and increase profitability.

Through restructuring of sourcing strategies, supplier diversification and disciplined execution, GEP reshaped the manufacturer’s supply network and reduced direct material costs by 19%, delivering $30 million-plus in sustainable EBITDA gains without sacrificing reliability.
