We are very satisfied with Joseph and the results he’s delivered.

We were referred to Joseph and IWPS, and with some initial skepticism, we soon realized he was a bit different from the previous consultants we had worked with. He offered to spend a week inside our company, and he did just that. His goal was to learn as much as he could about our organization, our people and processes. He has brought a higher level of thinking to our situation with great suggestions and a vast knowledge of the wood product industry. We will continue to utilize his services, and I consider him a good friend I can call anytime.

I knew he was a good guy when I saw him wearing a cowboy hat and boots!

They have become an indispensable part of our manufacturing facility and have completely transformed our operations. Their expertise, attention to detail, dedication to continuous improvement, and quality have been instrumental in helping us deliver high-quality products to our customers. We are incredibly grateful for this partnership, which has played a significant role in driving our improvement and growth.

This collaboration has not only enhanced our processes but has also inspired our team to strive for excellence in everything we do. The cultural shift brought about by their collaboration has sparked a chain reaction, leading to a more motivated and dedicated workforce. As a result, we have seen significant improvements in our efficiency and overall performance. We eagerly anticipate many more years of working together and achieving even greater success. The new standards they have set continue to impress us, and we are excited to keep moving forward together, reaching new heights in our operations and the industry as a whole. Gracias Chiquilin!

Joseph Baggett and team have been fantastic partners for us since our acquisition of Tomlinson Companies. Their technical and practical knowledge of furniture manufacturing, workflow, and work in process enabled us to lay the groundwork for the building of key performance indicators and other measurables. Joseph’s guidance has been steady and focused, and his impact on our operation is tangible and evident throughout.

Joseph is a person of true character and values, and it has been a pleasure to get to know him both professionally and personally. I highly recommend Joseph and his team for any engagement in the furniture and woodworking industries.
