Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact

Expected impact: Aims to drive sustainable, profitable growth above industry averages, establish a 30% gross margin floor, return to double-digit EBITDA margins, and increase service model margins by 10% or more in international regions relative to domestic benchmarks.
Consolidation of the company's operating footprint from three facilities down to two to optimize manufacturing workflows and reduce overhead.
