ALTIX ACCESS
FOR DECISION MAKERS WHO CHAMPION BUSINESS
Dear Friend,

People are key to companies' success. In this edition we highlight and celebrate people and companies who lead and act with a champion's mindset and a drive for excellence.

Philippe Garnier, CEO and GM of Safran Landing Systems Kentucky, attributes the global company's success to its culture of innovation and Lean Management that drives employee engagement, technology breakthroughs, and resilience.

In his new book, Altix Partner, Liam Cassidy, shares his life-long journey of successfully transforming factories across the world, that earned him the title of "Serial Factory Fixer" .

Industry leaders invest in their people. We recognize and celebrate the Altix Operations Leaders Circle of Excellence who participated in the inaugural cohort of this exceptional (in their own words) "9 month - 9 factories" program, learning from experts, benchmarking factories, and exchanging with peers.

Industry leaders conquer the world! Mauro Ferrero, President ReeR North America is launching the U.S. subsidiary with the full support from the Altix IMHub.

Lastly, please join me in welcoming our newest team members Stephan, Stephanie and Uche.

Enjoy the read!
Best,
Anne Cappel

Make Your Factory Great
& Keep It That Way

Congratulations to our Partner in Ireland Liam Cassidy for the publication of his book "Make your factory Great and keep it that way!"

Liam earned the title of "factory fixer" when in the late 90's he saved the struggling Iowa City Oral-B toothbrush factory from closure and within two years transformed it into a best-in-class competitive operation which became a famous case study of the Lean Enterprise Institute.

In his book, Liam takes us on a world tour of many more of his success stories and shares valuable insights on how to communicate, inspire and involve employers and employees on a successful transformative journey.

Liam will be visiting the U.S. in September 2022, on a multi-city tour. Please contact [email protected] to schedule a meeting with Liam and learn how he and the Altix team can be a resource for you and your company. Contact us for your complimentary copy.
