Purchase Price: Supply Chain Due Diligence
The problem

A private equity firm assessed a valve and pipe distributor for acquisition, focusing on supply chain performance to uncover margin, freight, and network optimization opportunities. Findings revealed $20–30M in potential annual value creation, supporting the decision to move forward with the purchase.

Our approach

Our team conducted in-depth interviews and data analysis to assess the distributor's supply chain operations. We identified opportunities to increase price margins, improve freight efficiency, and reduce the overall network footprint and ultimately improving profitability and competitiveness.
