ABM Associates is an innovation and commercial development consulting practice specializing in improving and leading innovation & commercialization processes in industrial, consumer, and medical markets where chemicals, polymers, and performance materials play a significant role in generating added value. Let our network of over 30 business and technology experts and their decades of successful experience with the world’s leading companies place you ahead of the competition. At ABM, we deliver Revolutionary Results versus Evolutionary Results.

Most new ideas fail at their inception with no one ever knowing they were doomed from the start. Few are well thought out, most are based upon erroneous or latent assumptions and few are even at a scale of return given the investment to even matter. At ABM, almost all of our consultants have been involved their entire careers in delivering high value products where the price is based upon what your product does, not what’s in the bottle. At many companies, such as Loctite, our staff has learned first hand that truly innovative manufactured products are enabling to their customers, providing benefits at least twice, more often 5 to 10 times, the price of the product with a manufactured cost at least half, but preferably less than 20% of said price. Even further, truly innovative platforms deliver improvements in a company’s or division’s profits by at least 10% or more, preferably 50% or more.

Most of our clients are manufacturing companies that are looking to reinvent themselves and/or to move to another level of organic growth without long term research on truly new to the world technologies. By examining the true, technical fundamental competencies that a company has, a new lens is created through which wondrous opportunities suddenly seem clearly possible. By example, take a look at some of ABM’s Successes.

At ABM, we adapt our Living Product Development Process to the client’s needs cooperatively, including their partners and their customers. Accordingly, ideas are now generated and developed from the start with the company’s strategic objectives in mind, the financial targets in view, technological and business competencies rigorously analyzed and with the customer’s basic needs more fundamentally examined. Accordingly, a lateral transfer and combining of seemingly unrelated, but proven technologies from a myriad of industries can now be combined to deliver new opportunities that you are uniquely positioned to take advantage of. ABM then develops systematic scanning and monitoring methodologies that allow for the constant evaluation and ranking of opportunities and the critical lynch pins to success that allow for an efficient allocation of scarce resources. Of course, nothing is too simple. In most cases, a combination of several existing technologies is required to solve a critical issue, but it is still far simpler than developing a new to the world technology.
