Manufacturing & Industrials

Industrial companies are facing major changes with many developed markets experiencing slow growth and stagnant margins, and demand and production shifting to China and developing countries where profitable growth has proven to be elusive. CRA and its subsidiary Marakon provide antitrust, economic, financial, and strategic analyses for manufacturing and industrial companies including paper and packaging manufacturing, compressor manufacturing, computer hardware manufacturing, battery manufacturing, cement producers, oil refineries, and chemicals.

We help companies address their highest value strategic and organizational issues, and help them turn their strategies into industry leading performance. Our 30+ years of experience shows that profits are always highly concentrated; typically, 30-40% of invested capital is responsible for all value creation in an organization. Getting a clear view of the sources and drivers responsible for this is our starting point for building management alignment on the short list of priorities for driving a material acceleration in profit growth.
