Overview
Three Assignments To Build It Into The Market Leader

Problem Encountered
This company was sold by its "Mom and Pa" founders to an owner/investor. After operating it independently for a number of years, part interest was sold to a larger company who also bought several similar companies. Subsequently, these were all sold and merged with a similar, larger operation to create the dominant company in the industry with over 60 percent market share. During this time this subsidiary company grew from less than $2 million in revenues to more than $55 million. 

Our Solution
One of our principals has had three separate engagements with this company. The first engagement was with the new owner/investor to help him make the transition from the original owners and to organize it into a more functional organization. The second assignment occurred years later during the merger of the various smaller companies to create the industry leader, and it involved consolidation and modernization of the sales organization. The final assignment involved setting up the organization and product line necessary to expand aggressively into major international markets.

Results
In the course of only two years, international sales have risen from nothing to more than 10% of the company's business.
