Full company description

Isaac Operations Limited (formerly Newton North America) works hands-on with organizations in North America and around the world to help them get more out of their operational processes and supply chains. Our people are talented engineers, not management consultants, so we’re able to identify issues that limit cost, delivery and quality performance, and then implement practical solutions that rapidly generate measurable, sustainable financial returns – from the ground up. From our roots in manufacturing, Isaac applies a unique engineering-based approach across a wide range of industry sectors, working in areas as diverse as aerospace, automotive, defence, food & drink and healthcare. With a track record of delivering 10-50% operational improvement in two to six months without any capital expenditure, we are paid on our performance, not the number of reports we generate. Isaac is the intelligent way to unlock the potential within your business.
