Texas
Capacity is expensive.
Know what it earns.
Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston anchor one of the strongest manufacturing and distribution bases in the country. Growth that fast makes capital and capacity decisions constant, and expensive to get wrong.
Why Texas, and why now
The fastest-growing industrial base
in the country.
Dallas-Fort Worth ranks as the top manufacturing metro in the United States and one of its largest logistics hubs. Houston has added distribution and warehouse space faster than almost anywhere, on the back of its export economy. Texas leads the country in foreign direct investment, and nearshoring keeps pushing more industrial volume into the state.
That growth creates a specific and expensive problem. When demand is strong, companies buy capacity: equipment, space, headcount, another shift. Each decision is defensible on its own and the cumulative fixed cost is rarely modeled. Then a soft quarter arrives and the operation is carrying overhead it committed to during the good months.
The discipline that prevents it is not complicated. Price capital against the genuine constraint, not the loudest request. Know contribution by product and customer so you can tell profitable growth from expensive growth. Keep cash visible thirteen weeks out so a capacity decision is made against a forecast rather than a feeling.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Are you based in Texas?
No. Our people are based in Atlanta and Detroit, and we serve Texas clients on a remote-first cadence with travel for the sessions that genuinely need a room. We would rather say that plainly than claim an office we do not have.
How do we decide which equipment purchase to make?
Make them compete on one page. Payback, net present value at your hurdle rate, and honest treatment of must-do maintenance so the roof carries its true negative return instead of invented savings. The best portfolio is usually several small cost-out projects rather than one monument.
We grew fast and now our overhead feels heavy. Where do we start?
By naming the constraint before cutting anything. Cutting cost away from the constraint makes the company weaker at everything except the thing limiting it. Once the constraint is named and priced per hour, most of the argument about what to cut resolves itself.
Do you work with PE-backed companies in Texas?
Yes. We deliver the institutional-grade reporting sponsors expect, run the operational side of post-acquisition integration, and track value-creation initiatives with a validated-in-the-P&L standard rather than a slide.
What kinds of Texas businesses do you work with?
Operations-heavy companies roughly $5M to $100M in revenue: manufacturers, distributors, logistics operators, industrial and field-services firms.
