American Consulting & Training Clients

“In 1994, Etec was struggling to make a profit, despite "owning" 65% market share and having leading edge technology. I had joined the company in January 1993, and found that financial restructure and drastic cuts were not enough. I brought in ACT to assist.

Accomplishments were nothing short of spectacular. Manufacturing time was reduced from 52 weeks to 26 weeks; revenues increased 247% from July 1995 to July 1998 for a 3 year CAGR of over 50% per year; market share grew to 75%; and we gained an 18-month technology lead. Etec went public in late 1995, and in the first 12 months the stock rose over 200% from its opening price. Etec's continuing success led to it's acquisition in March 2000 by Applied Materials, the world leader in semiconductor equipment manufacturing.

ACT was one of the key factors to our success. I highly respect their work. Whether your organization has troubled projects or management practices that need a swift overhaul, I recommend their services.”
