Argon & Co, the global management consultancy that specialises in operations strategy and transformation, is delighted to announce the launch of new ANZ industries: Healthcare and Heavy Industry.
The new industries come about with the integration of Caliba Group who will fully integrate with Argon & Co in June 2024 after joining late last year. Caliba Group is one of the leading procurement consultancies in Australia with deep knowledge across a variety of industries including healthcare, heavy industry, government, transport and logistics, and food and drink, with substantial cost-reduction expertise.
The move will reinforce Argon & Co’s market-leading position in Australia and New Zealand and is part of the firm’s expansion strategy – bringing immediate scale, expanded procurement capabilities and a reinforced global offering to the business.
The combined entities will also benefit from a new Brisbane office, joining the company’s 160 consultants spread across offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and Brisbane.
Paul Eastwood, Managing Partner of Argon & Co APAC, said, “By welcoming Caliba Group, we are strengthening our procurement service offering globally as well as expanding our industry reach locally. We are excited to welcome a team that aligns with our culture and values, shares commitment to excellence and delivers real results for our clients.
Founders of Caliba Group, Jim Cowan and Daniel Williams, who join Argon & Co as Partners and will lead the ANZ procurement offer, added, “We are delighted to be adding our procurement expertise to Argon & Co’s great supply chain services and are eager to begin work across shared clients and projects. And with the addition of our new Brisbane office, we are excited to be able to offer greater coverage for our clients and more career and personal development for our talented team.”
The two new industries will reinforce Argon & Co’s existing end-to-end capability in ANZ, enhancing both its expertise and scale, offering more to clients as well as wider market demands.
