Our Mission
“To significantly improve the bottom line of food companies, primarily in the meat area, by providing customized consulting services on: scheduling, planning, purchasing, pricing, and marketing.” Steiner Consulting Group is an economic consulting company that works with private clients providing a full array of services from purchasing and negotiating strategies, to price analysis and forecasting, to strategic planning and evaluation of forward contracting.
We think our clients have discovered the value of taking charge of their own raw material purchasing. However, many do not take this step because a) it is simpler to let the manufacturer to do this; b) it requires both know-how and a persistent presence in the market to accomplish.
Our clients have a long production chain, and buyers juggle many jobs and responsibilities. We are not a broker. Rather, we are part of the buying team whose single focus is to provide raw material price transparency, make sure we hit inventory targets and position the business correctly to take advantage of market opportunities.
Recently we wrote a white paper that explains our purchasing philosophy. We hope this gives you a sense of what we bring to the table. In the last 20 years, our clients have counted savings and cost avoidance in the billions of dollars implementing our programs and using Steiner to manage their raw material buys.
