The challenge

A leading HVAC components manufacturer was facing mounting cost pressure and growing supply chain risk. Years of fragmented sourcing decisions had created limited supplier diversification, uneven cost performance, and increased exposure to regional disruptions.

Leadership knew there was opportunity to improve pricing and resilience, but lacked clear visibility into where savings could be realized without introducing additional operational risk. They engaged Adonis Partners to identify sourcing opportunities, strengthen supplier strategy, and improve long-term supply chain resilience.

The strategic sourcing approach

Adonis Partners began with a comprehensive assessment of the organization’s sourcing strategy, supplier landscape, and spend profile. The team worked closely with leadership to evaluate category-level opportunities, identify supplier concentration risks, and define sourcing priorities aligned to business objectives.

Through detailed analysis and stakeholder collaboration, Adonis helped the organization redesign its sourcing approach to balance cost reduction with supply continuity. This included supplier rationalization where appropriate, diversification in overexposed categories, and clearer governance around sourcing decisions to support sustained performance improvements.

The effort focused not only on near-term savings, but on building a sourcing model that could adapt to changing market conditions.

The impact

The engagement delivered $19M in identified savings, representing a 28% reduction in annual spend and more than 10x ROI once fully implemented. Beyond cost improvements, the initiative significantly strengthened supply chain resilience by reducing dependency on concentrated supplier regions and improving sourcing flexibility.

As a result, the organization achieved meaningful financial impact while positioning its supply chain to better withstand future disruptions and demand shifts.
