Private equity firms aiming to rapidly boost EBITDA and secure significant savings should consider REDUx Engineering’s no-cost, no-risk model.

With our expertise in strategic offshoring, engineering insights, and extensive supplier network, we specialize in reducing COGS by 20-30% in under six months. This blog outlines the five key advantages REDUx brings to your portfolio companies, backed by real case studies and industry references.

1. Rapid COGS Reduction to Boost EBITDA: 20-30% Savings in Just 4-6 Months

REDUx Engineering’s approach to cost reduction offers an immediate impact on EBITDA by targeting the cost of goods sold (COGS). Leveraging a global network of pre-qualified suppliers across Asia, Eastern Europe, and Mexico, we quickly identify the optimal sourcing strategies for significant savings, particularly for small and medium-sized North American manufacturers.

Case Study:

• Submersible Control Cable Project:
  • Annual Volume: 7,500 pieces
  • Original Cost: $74 per unit
  • New Cost After REDUx Project: $32 per unit
  • Annual Savings: $315,000

This streamlined sourcing resulted in a 57% cost reduction, demonstrating how private equity-backed companies can achieve substantial improvements in profitability. [Source: Company white paper on offshoring benefits.]

2. Risk-Free Offshore Partnerships: Only Pay from Realized Savings

At REDUx, we assume all upfront costs and risks, meaning private equity firms only pay a share of the realized savings. This performance-based pricing model aligns with your bottom-line goals and eliminates potential financial burdens. Our process is especially suited for firms without extensive experience or resources in offshore manufacturing.

3. Access to a Pre-Qualified Network of Suppliers for High-Quality Production

Our relationships with suppliers are 20 years strong, covering high-demand manufacturing locations in Asia, Eastern Europe, and Mexico. REDUx carefully matches client needs with suppliers specializing in relevant certifications, verticals, and production requirements. This robust supplier network minimizes delays and assures quality at competitive costs.

Case Study:

• Injection Molded Part Project for Geotechnical Sensor Casing
  • Original Cost: $240 per unit
  • New Cost: $52 per unit
  • Annual Savings: $1.5 million

Through REDUx’s network, we facilitated a 78% cost reduction using optimized materials and supplier selection.

4. Design for Manufacturing Feedback to Streamline Production and Reduce Waste

Our team at REDUx specializes in design-for-manufacturability (DFM) services, ensuring that product designs are optimized to minimize waste, reduce complexity, and maximize yield. This engineering feedback can lower COGS even further while improving product quality.

Supporting Example:

5. End-to-End Offshore Strategy with No Upfront Costs

REDUx offers an end-to-end offshore strategy that includes trusted relationships, cultural and language fluency, project management resources, quality audits, and logistics support. Our comprehensive process alleviates the complexity for SMEs lacking resources to manage such projects independently.

Case Study:

• Signal Control Cable Project
  • Annual Volume: 1,000,000 meters
  • Original Cost: $2.20 per meter
  • New Cost: $0.90 per meter
  • Annual Savings: $1.3 million

By managing every detail from supplier selection to delivery, we achieved a 59% cost reduction, facilitating seamless transitions to offshore production.
