Cincinnati-based manufacturing consultancy Altix Consulting has acquired Dublin, Ireland-based LCL Consult to beef up its lean manufacturing offering.
Altix specializes in global supply chain management and advanced manufacturing, advising clients on a range of strategy, operations, and technology needs, including factory automation. The boutique firm was co-founded by a pair of expats from France, Yannick Schilly and Anne Cappel. Schilly spent 25 years at German industrial control and automation company Festo.
The acquisition will gives Altix a foothold in Ireland, allowing it to provide its lean implementation services to clients globally.
