It’s time to supercharge your raw materials Buyer Power

WELCOME, MY NAME IS JOE DOBOSZ

I am a 30-year veteran buyer of plastics raw materials, founder of Lexicon, and the industry’s exclusive performance-based plastic raw materials procurement strategist. For the last 18 years, I have been responsible for thousands of procurement strategies resulting in injection molders saving millions of dollars on their plastic raw material costs.

Over the last three decades, I have watched the myopic state of plastic “purchasing” completely collapse under the weight of its complexity. The purchasing paradigms that have existed for decades – the skills and attitudes formed during years of relative stability – are still very present as we cycle through this unprecedented post-pandemic “new normal” world of high pricing and supply volatility that is here to stay. The only beneficiaries are the prevailing raw material sellers, who continue to outmaneuver and augment their powerful positions at your expense.

Your company’s margins, current business, future sustainable growth, and supply are all under grave domestic and global attack by elements within your control if acted upon. As with any battle plan, there are three essential elements: intelligence, strategy, and implementation. If one component is missing (very likely), your company will remain compromised.

Crafting effective buy-side strategies is the lost art I mastered for plastic raw materials and your battle plan. My clients (more “partners” in practice) realize cost savings between 10 – 60 percent in many cases without a supplier change while improving supplier relations. These largely unforeseen gains are only made possible by working closely with stakeholders and carefully aligning their company’s short and long-term objectives with performance-based incentives that are easily measurable and met with ongoing accountability. The same dynamics for success during conflict.

In today’s volatile climate, going on the offensive, regaining, and maintaining control is essential to ensure your company’s long haul is met with prosperity. This is where I step in, with a shared passion for performance, and make it all happen.

If your company’s future is important to you, I encourage you to browse the website and reach out to me. Each subcategory is a short read packed with factually based compelling content about why so many business owners have me looking after their best interests. Today is your day, and I look forward to working with you.
