Built by operators who have run every hot-end position.
The world's first systemised Job Change Tool.
We audit your IS machines, your forehearths, your job changes, your meetings, and your KPIs — then install the system that runs without us.
Job change is the single largest controllable source of hot-end downtime and rejects in container glass plants. Cross-shift variance on the same SKU is typically 30–60%. A 1% efficiency lift is worth millions in EBITDA.
Most plants chase it with paper checklists, tribal knowledge, and a vendor sales deck. We fix it from the inside.
Nine practices. One outcome: a plant that runs better.
Pick one. Pick several. Each engagement is led by a senior practitioner with hot-end, cold-end and leadership experience — not a junior with a deck.
Hot End Audit
Independent audit of IS machines, forehearth, hot-end coating, ware handling and pack-to-melt KPIs.
Forming Audit

No equipment. No commissions. No conflict.
We don't sell IS machines. We don't sell furnaces. We don't sell inspection equipment. Every other 'consultant' in container glass has equipment to sell. We have findings, methodology, and a system. That's the difference between an audit and a sales call.
- Vendor commissions
- Tied OEM partnerships
- Findings shaped by what they sell
- Audit doubles as a sales pipeline
- No equipment for sale
- No OEM commissions
- Findings ranked by EBITDA, not invoice
- Audit is the product, not the lead-gen
Every container glass segment, with the vocabulary your buyer uses.
The same hot end runs different defect profiles, customer specs, and campaign rhythms by industry. We speak each one natively.

High volume, lightweighting via NNPB, returnables, scuffing, campaign discipline.
Wine bottle manufacturing
Flint, antique-green, cuvée colour management; punted bases; weight specs; decoration coordination.
Spirits bottle manufacturing
Ultra-premium, complex shapes, decoration coordination, short campaigns, ultra-low defect tolerance.
Food jar manufacturing
Wide-mouth press-and-blow, twist-off finish precision, vacuum integrity, pack-to-melt focus.
Pharmaceutical glass
USP Type I/II/III, EP standards, vial and ampoule precision, regulatory traceability.
Cosmetics & perfume glass (flaconnage)
Surface decoration, complex finishes, ultra-premium spec, short campaigns, ultra-low cosmetic tolerance.
Diagnose · Prove · Scale · Sustain.
The same four phases every time. The depth and speed change with your situation — the discipline doesn't.
Diagnose
On-site and remote across forming, forehearth, line coordination. We read your data and walk your floor before we open our mouths.
Prove
Pilot on one line with a crew that helped build the approach. Movement on the number, not a slide.
Scale
Line-by-line rollout with your internal coaches leading. We train the trainers and hold the standard.
Sustain
Dashboards, audits, and coaching cadence that keep the gains. The test is month 12, not week 6.
Six things your floor feels in the first quarter.
You will not need a consultant to tell you whether it's working. The floor will tell you first.
Faster Production
Throughput lifts that show up on the scoreboard, not just the spreadsheet.
Steadier Operations
Fewer jam-ups, shorter stops, less hero-maintenance at 2am.
Lower Defects
Root-cause fixes on the top defect modes — not symptomatic tinkering.
Clear KPIs
One source of truth from operator handheld to VP Operations.
Safer Plants
Digital audits with evidence, escalation that sticks, housekeeping that holds.
Engaged Crews
Standards your crews helped build — so they follow them without a memo.
Every corner of the plant, every shift.
Our practitioners have stood in front of these lines and solved the problems they throw at you. This is where we earn our fee.
What plant leaders say.
Engagements are typically under NDA — quotes are verifiable on request.
"They walked the floor, talked to our crews, and gave us a plan we could actually run. Changeovers are down 38%, first-hour yield is up 15 points."
"We had six spreadsheets reporting OEE differently. Now we have one dashboard and the debate is about what to fix, not whose number is right."
"Independent due diligence that looked past the data room. They found two operational risks the seller hadn't flagged — and the deal structure reflected it."
