Materials manufacturer goes from -5% to +10% EBITDA in 7 months.

A leading roof tile manufacturer faced shrinking margins from rising costs and pricing pressures. Past cost-cutting failed to deliver lasting impact. Through a structured cost transformation program, we identified quick wins, optimized labor and utilities, and streamlined operations. The result: $1.6M annual savings, stronger profitability, and resources freed to fuel growth in new markets and acquisitions.

Major deals like the BFS-BMC merger and multiple acquisitions by private equity firms reshaped the competitive landscape. With nearly 500 locations changing hands and more than 40 companies actively buying, the industry is consolidating faster than ever.
