Proven results across industries and procurement challenges
Catalyst Exhibits
Industry · Manufacturing
Challenge: Procurement lacked formal leadership, structured processes, and supplier communication discipline, so incumbent suppliers dictated pricing, terms, and commercial conditions across direct and indirect spend. Maverick approach: Targeted the top 80% of spend for renegotiation and re-sourcing; reset key categories including plastics, carpet, freight, aluminum, and cleaning supplies; and implemented a structured supplier communication and engagement framework. Results: ~$1M annual savings (~12%), multiple suppliers replaced or re-quoted, and plastics achieved 60%+ savings. Maverick impact: Shifted Catalyst from a supplier-controlled environment to a procurement-led operating model with leadership, structured engagement, and negotiation discipline that unlocked cost efficiency and long-term commercial control.
Konecranes
Industry · Manufacturing / Industrial
Challenge: Heavy dependence on European manufacturing drove high landed costs and three-month lead times, constraining production flexibility, slowing response to customer demand, and weakening North American competitiveness. Maverick approach: Qualified Mexican fabricators meeting EU welding requirements; bridged Swedish engineering standards with North American supplier capabilities; and completed SSAB S690 steel material equivalent qualification. Results: $3M+ annual savings with 15% landed cost reduction, three-month lead-time reduction, and major assemblies transitioned from Europe to Mexico. Maverick impact: Bridged supply chains, engineering requirements, and cultural differences across regions to unlock sustainable global competitiveness and improved execution.
MTI Motion
Industry · Aerospace / Manufacturing
Challenge: Rapid growth in aerospace programs exposed supplier capacity constraints, misaligned procurement processes, and limited negotiation leverage. Maverick approach: Qualified alternate India casting suppliers to expand capacity and reduce cost; mapped procurement roles across purchasing and strategic sourcing; and delivered negotiation training to strengthen supplier engagement. Results: $800K annual savings (~40%), multiple supplier transitions through structured change management, and improved procurement clarity and execution. Maverick impact: Delivered immediate savings while strengthening procurement capabilities, governance, and execution for sustained performance.
Latitude Corp
Industry · Manufacturing
Challenge: Rapid growth outpaced procurement structure and governance, driving higher material costs and inconsistent, undisciplined sourcing and purchasing. Maverick approach: Redesigned the supply chain organization to support 30%+ growth; delivered cost reductions across cardboard, fasteners, paint, and outsourced labor; and implemented Delegation of Authority controls and sourcing KPIs. Results: $2.4M annual savings (~8% of total spend), supplier transitions across paint, chemicals, and make/buy decisions, and a stronger operational foundation for scaling. Maverick impact: Delivered margin improvement while professionalizing a scalable supply chain for aggressive growth objectives.
