Testimonials

“NEG has a strong track record in high process efficiency and we take great pride in delivering products that meet or exceed our customer requirements. Since we are always looking for a better way to do things we called Gordon to help us better understand areas within our operations where we could apply best practices from industries outside of the fiberglass industry. With a somewhat ambiguous mission Gordon delivered a range of options for us to pursue. We collaboratively narrowed the list of opportunities that would deliver the most immediate and impactful results. Gordon guided us through this process minimizing resource drain while advancing progress. Based upon this result and our previous experience we expect to engage Gordon and his team at August Brown for future projects.”
