ARGO-EFESO

ARGO has joined forces with Paris based global firm EFESO Consulting, thereby significantly expanding its footprint in the European and Asian markets. EFESO, founded 40 years ago, with 35 offices and 800 consultants worldwide, ranks as a top global player in operations consulting. Moving forward, Argo will operate under the name ARGO-EFESO. ARGO-EFESO is an operations improvement consulting firm breaking through the traditional barriers of the consultant-client relationship. We are hands-on consultants who deliver real results and no excuses. ARGO-EFESO helps companies with significant and complex operating assets improve their profitability by increasing revenue and customer service, while reducing operating costs, fixed overhead, and working capital. Our proprietary business processes and behavior change methods, coupled with our deep industry experience, enable us to implement performance improvement more rapidly and sustainably. Our hands-on and collaborative work style and approach to performance improvement is unique in terms of transfer of knowledge and developing the client’s internal capabilities. While working across most industries, ARGO-EFESO is experienced in and focused on transportation, industrial manufacturing, chemical, energy & natural resources, and food & beverage. Additionally, ARGO-EFESO serves numerous Private Equity clients in their pre-acquisition due diligence and with the ongoing operations of their portfolio companies. We were ranked among the Best Firms to Work For by Consulting Magazine for ten consecutive years and as one of the best Operations Consulting Firms worldwide by ALM Vanguard in 2019.
