The Situation: Addressing Food Manufacturing Staffing Challenges During Expansion
A Recipe for Expansion: How Manufacturing Staffing Accelerated Production Growth
Imagine this scenario: A Private Equity Company acquires a food manufacturing and distribution facility and seeks to integrate it into their vast network. The goal? To expand production and meet growing demand. This ambitious venture involved a $15 million plant expansion, complete with a new production line and staffing of a third shift. Every essential support function — from HR to management — needed to be in place quickly. However, traditional staffing firms struggled to meet the client’s aggressive goals and tight deadlines, highlighting the need for a specialized manufacturing staffing partner.
