CDC Factory

Experts in the Food and Beverage Industry

Today's Food and Beverage producers are facing a unique set of circumstances that make CDC Factory particularly compelling:

  • The economic slowdown is causing price pressure from consumers. To keep customers loyal, producers of known brands must emphasize value and avoid price increases.
  • The economic slowdown is also increasing demand for in-home food products. Food producers have an unprecedented—but temporary—opportunity to take advantage of an extended spike in demand.
  • The credit crisis makes it undesirable and impossible to build more plants or to invest in major capital projects to meet the spike in demand.
  • Competition for ingredients from the biofuels industry has increased the prices of corn and wheat, causing more challenges for food producers to keep prices low, meet demand and maintain margins.
  • Overall rises in energy costs are also making it difficult for producers to maintain already slim margins.

These exceptional reasons have created a "perfect storm" for the food industry and smart F&B companies are addressing profitability head-on. They need answers that bring fast results, but not just for the short term.

CDC Factory offers a direct path to profit with quantifiable ROI, fast implementation cycles, and best practices that are clear, understandable, and proven in the plants of leading F&B companies throughout North America and Europe.
