Retirement risk turned reward: New leadership boosts production by 27%
A manufacturing company in the Dallas-Fort Worth area was preparing for several executive team retirements and needed new leadership in place to keep operations moving forward. To make their success plan work, they need the right leaders ready before their current executives stepped away.
Challenge
Several members of the executive team were approaching retirement, and the company needed to put its succession plan into action. However, they didn’t yet have the right leaders in place to carry it out. Finding skilled professionals quickly was critical to ensuring a smooth transition.
Solutions
The client turned to Addison Group, confident that our experience in manufacturing made us the right partner. With more than 15 years of experience working with companies that produce physical products, we knew exactly what qualities to look for in leadership candidates.
Initially, the client was looking for a single Director/VP-level hire. But after we found a candidate that aligned so closely with the client’s needs, they asked us to place additional leaders—ultimately trusting Addison Group to hire eight more people for key roles.
The results spoke for themselves: the client increased production capacity by 27%, and is now acquiring land for a new facility. This expansion will bring all production under one roof, making the business scalable well into the future —even as their executives retire.
