- Purchase Price: Operations Due Diligence
In 2023, a private equity owner preparing to exit a blow-molded plastics acquisition needed the plant to increase capacity for anticipated buyer demand while identifying operational efficiencies and cost-saving opportunities.
Our team conducted a thorough operational assessment of the acquired plant, examining production uptime and downtime, process bottlenecks, maintenance practices, changeovers, and supervisor behaviors. We also evaluated the effects of operations on Sales & Operations Planning and downstream raw material procurement to identify efficiency gains and cost-saving opportunities.
