What Our Partners Say
“Harbour Group is in the trenches with you, shoulder-to-shoulder. When opportunities were identified, Harbour stepped up to invest in the business, to build it for the long-term. They did the right thing for our employees, our customers and the business as a whole. They have high expectations for success, but will work alongside you to achieve that success.”
Steve Harriott, President, Watchfire
What Our Partners Say
“Harbour Group’s commitment to people development has been outstanding. They’ve provided the resources, support, and belief in our team needed to scale our business globally and deliver results.”
Ryan Wooten, CEO, Cattron
What Our Partners Say
“Harbour Group guided us to new IT solutions to evaluate, understand and manage our 3,000+ SKUs. The ERP system modules we had were not being utilized prior to Harbour Group’s ownership. We were able to gain the benefit of a fully integrated system with their help.”
Dean Panettieri, VP of Operations, Auto Meter Products, Inc.
What Our Partners Say
“Harbour Group’s expertise took us a long way in helping to reduce our inventory. We had a set of formulas that were not very advanced and Harbour made them much more sophisticated. In a variable demand business with many SKUs, it is critical to keep inventory levels down while not compromising on service to the customer.”
Greg Gottlieb, President, Hardware Resources / Top Knobs
What Our Partners Say
“In a small organization like ours we have limited resources. Harbour Group brings a range of expertise usually found in big companies. They also bring education and tools that take our existing team to the next level. What they’ve helped us accomplish allows us to stay competitive on existing products as well as recent new product launches.”
Dan Zsiga, VP and General Manager, ONICON Incorporated
