Manufacturing executive search for plant, operations and supply chain leadership. Clients include Coats, Norbord, Bühler and Linde.
Oryx provides manufacturing executive search for plant and site leadership, operations, continuous improvement, automation, quality, health and safety, and end-to-end supply chain. Clients include Coats, Norbord, Bühler, Linde Material Handling, Calder and Johnson Matthey, spanning process, discrete and highly automated production. The people who succeed in these roles are identifiable by what they have changed: OEE and yield improvement, a line or facility commissioned successfully, a lean or Six Sigma programme that held after they left, a safety record rebuilt. Our research team looks for that evidence specifically, mapping the plants and groups where it exists rather than relying on candidates who have chosen to make themselves available. We work across food and beverage, building products, textiles and technical fibres, chemicals and speciality materials, packaging, automotive and general engineering production, in single-site businesses and in multi-plant international groups.
