Value creation, from the plant floor up.
For sponsors and operating partners, EBITDA lives in the plant. Redline Infinity turns operational, reliability, and food-safety risk into measurable enterprise value — before the deal, and long after the close.
An operating partner who's lived the thesis.
Redline Infinity is led by a former Plant Engineer and Plant Manager with direct experience in private-equity-owned manufacturing environments — partnering with sponsors and executive leadership to execute value-creation plans.
We connect plant-floor reality to the metrics that matter to your investment committee: throughput, cost, reliability, audit and regulatory risk, and disciplined capital deployment — all aligned to EBITDA growth and long-term enterprise value.

Four levers on enterprise value.
The same pillars that run a great plant are the levers that move a valuation.
Throughput & cost (Operations)
Unlock hidden capacity and reduce cost per unit — more volume and margin from assets you already own, with no capital outlay.
Uptime & reliability
Unplanned downtime is the single largest OEE loss category. Recovering it converts directly to output, service level, and EBITDA.
Quality & food-safety risk
A recall, a major customer complaint, or a failed audit can impair the thesis overnight. We de-risk the downside.
Certification & compliance
SQF / GFSI certification protects revenue, satisfies customer requirements, and removes a common diligence red flag at exit.
From diligence to exit.
Operational & maintenance due diligence
An independent, plant-floor read on the target: asset condition and remaining useful life, reliability and maintenance maturity, quality and food-safety exposure, certification status, and the capex that reality (not the CIM) requires. We tell you what you're actually buying.
Value-creation roadmap
A prioritized plan tied to the investment thesis — quick wins that fund the work, plus the structural moves (PM compliance, planning & scheduling, KPI systems) that compound over the hold. Clear owners, metrics, and timelines your team can execute.
Performance improvement & turnarounds
Hands-on execution across the portfolio — throughput and reliability gains, cost-out, quality and audit readiness, and interim leadership for the underperformer that needs stabilizing now. Capability built inside the team so the gains hold.
Exit readiness
Clean, documented, certified operations that survive buyer diligence — strong reliability and quality metrics, current GFSI certification, and management systems that prove the performance is durable, not dependent on heroics.
Situations we're built for.
Evaluating an acquisition
You need an operational read on a food & beverage target — beyond the numbers — before you commit capital.
An underperforming portfolio company
Missed EBITDA, downtime, quality issues, or a struggling plant that needs stabilization and a credible recovery plan.
Carve-outs & new-cos
Standing up operations, programs, and infrastructure for a newly independent business — fast, and to standard.
Add-on integration
Bringing an acquired facility onto consistent operational, quality, and certification standards across the platform.
Audit or customer risk
A failed GFSI audit or at-risk key customer that threatens revenue — and the thesis — and needs fast remediation.
Preparing for exit
Getting operations documented, certified, and metric-clean so they hold up under a buyer's diligence.
Private Equity FAQ
How do you support private equity investors?
Across the deal lifecycle — operational due diligence before close, 100-day value-creation planning after, hold-period improvement, and exit preparation. We assess operations, reliability, quality, and food safety as value levers, not just risks.
Can you do operational due diligence on a tight deal timeline?
Yes. We move fast, on-site, and give you a clear-eyed read on operational risk and upside before you close.
