WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Please accept this letter of recommendation for CPQP International LLC, located at 105 Shore Vista Lane, Greer, SC 29651. Beretta U.S.A. Corp. hired CPQP partway through construction of a large factory in central Tennessee and we quickly realized that we would have been much better off had we retained CPQP from the beginning of the project. The CPQP staff dedicated to our project brought a level of expertise to the building construction planning and cost estimating that we lacked using our own internal resources. In a polite but persistent and incisive manner, CPQP staff dug deeply into the details of our building project, found ways to reduce costs and were able to provide us with clear, understandable guidance about what elements of the building design were essential and what could be improved without increasing costs.
CPQP was always responsive on an immediate basis to any inquiries that we had concerning the project and basically became a critical part of our project management team. I recommend CPQP without reservation to anybody beginning construction of a new facility or to anyone already engaged in such an endeavor.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey K. Reh
Member, Board of Directors
I learned of CPQP through a recently hired executive in our company about 3 years ago. We had an acute Operational problem that needed quick and decisive fixing, so I reached out to François. We immediately understood each other and the facts that we are both originally from Belgium and went to the same Engineering school probably had a bit to do with it. I worked very closely with Carl Cartwright across my network of factories and warehouses. I have nothing but good things to say. Carl’s leadership, work ethic and knowledge are fantastic additions to teams as they are being molded and shaped. We successfully completed a move to a new group of frozen, refrigerated and ambient warehouses in Arizona; we then installed new packaging equipment, refurbished bottling lines in Florida and we then worked on significant infrastructure projects that allowed our company to continue to grow. I was so happy with CPQP that I had them present to our Board of Directors and recommended them to multiple companies in our portfolio. The new projects were also successfully delivered in the other companies.

I was first introduced to CPQP in 2012 when we used them to assess a potential plant consolidation and estimate the costs for us. Since then we have used them process improvement and plant turnaround work at multiple portfolio companies with great success.
