    The journey so far

A supply chain and operations consulting firm with a difference

Maine Pointe was founded in 2004 as a result of the simple observation that senior executives and private equity firms needed specialists to help them drive measurable operational improvements, fast. The purpose of the company was (and remains to this day) to deliver compelling economic returns to our clients and our people through accelerated performance improvements in EBITDA, cash and growth. Over the next decade, Maine Pointe pursued its vision of becoming the world's most sought-after supply chain and operations consulting firm. The company built a reputation as a specialist in driving EBITDA, cash and growth improvements across the areas of procurementoperations, logistics, data analytics and leader and organization improvement (LOI), expanding its global delivery model across thirty countries in Europe, North America and Asia and delivering billions of dollars of measurable benefits to clients.

In 2019, Maine Pointe announced the beginning of a new chapter when SGS, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, acquired a majority stake in the business. SGS is recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity. With more than 97,000 employees, SGS operates a network of over 2,600 offices and laboratories around the world. In Germany, SGS is a trusted partner for all major industries. With over 3,000 employees in 40 branches, SGS offers more safety, efficiency and quality across the value chain. www.sgsgroup.de
