Value Creation Partners

Bringing back manufacturing.
We make European plants globally competitive.

We work with the leadership teams of mid-market manufacturers to improve the measures that decide orders: cost, quality and lead time. We apply technology and AI where they earn their place, and we measure our work by results on the floor and in EBITDA.

What we do

First we make it visible. Then we make it perform.

Every engagement follows the same arc, and every engagement ends with running systems inside your plants and a leadership team that can see the operation truthfully.

  • 01

    Embedded discovery on the plant floor

    We sit alongside your team and map how the operation actually runs: how orders, materials and information move, and where the records disagree with the floor.

  • 02

    A truthful operational backbone

    We build a custom platform your company owns, made to fit your needs and processes, not the other way around. It gives you one governed source of truth for the records your operation runs on, working alongside the systems you already have.

  • 03

    Performance on that foundation

    Planning, visibility and automation built on truthful data, with AI applied where it earns its place. Results are measured in throughput, scrap, on-time delivery and working capital.

Use case

From a live engagement.

For a regulated, high-volume European manufacturer, we are building the operational backbone of a multi-plant operation around the systems that already run it: item master, bills of materials, routings, planning and execution. The platform is live in production.

About Grandhelm

Operators and engineers first, consultants second.

Grandhelm was founded by people who have carried a manufacturer's P&L, shipped production systems under real pressure and advised at board level. We speak the floor's language and the board's: throughput and scrap on one side, margin, cash and EBITDA on the other.

We embed with management teams and deliver focused engagements with defined scope, timelines and success measures. We measure our success by your independence: an operation your team runs without us day to day, with Grandhelm remaining at your side as advisors.

Ready to see your operation clearly?

Engagements begin with a short diagnostic on the plant floor: a few weeks alongside your team, ending in a clear picture of where the operation stands and what it would take to move it. It starts with a conversation.
