Greenfield factory development.

Building a new factory around the future operating model — not around the machines alone. Process, people, quality, flow, data and technology engineered together before production scale-up.

Documented Experience

Two greenfield builds, led personally.

Greenfield development is a core part of Mike's professional experience. In Ethiopia, he led the development and ramp-up of a greenfield, premium woven-shirt facility for PVH (Calvin Klein / Tommy Hilfiger); in Ghana, he separately led a greenfield Phase-1 factory development for Ethical Apparel Africa.

This greenfield experience was built during Mike's professional career prior to founding Texora10XGlobal, and is offered to clients today as part of Texora10XGlobal's greenfield capability.
