ABOUT US

PERFORMANCE ENTERPRISE
FOOD MANUFACTURING CONSULTANTS

​

We empower food businesses, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists to achieve sustained profitability

Achieving sustained, scalable profitability in the hyper-competitive, highly regulated, rapidly changing food industry has never been more challenging. New food safety requirements have increased business risk. Established manufacturers face new competition as more and more nimble and eager startups enter the market. And consumer demand for all natural, sustainable, socially-conscious products has hit an all time high.

 

We work with emerging and established food businesses,
start-ups, and investors looking to boost their results in this highly competitive industry

 

With a combined 50 years of expertise in food safety, food manufacturing and human resources, we pinpoint solutions that cut more costs and achieve more profitable outcomes than anyone in the industry.

 

With extensive knowledge spanning food startups to global brand operations and complex business acquisitions, there is no food manufacturing challenge we can’t solve.
