A European operational consulting firm, built on one conviction: real industrial transformation is won on the ground, alongside the teams.
"Supporting industrial companies through their operational transformations, combining lasting performance and innovation."
Since 2012, OPEO has been at the heart of industrial excellence, combining a genuine presence on the ground with constant exploration of the trends and major shifts shaping our society.
We believe success comes from a transformation grounded in the reality of factories and organizations, while integrating the new levers of performance: digital, circular economy, operational excellence.
Our approach: to be a demanding, supportive partner, guided by values of excellence, social responsibility and commitment to creating value.
Industrial performance is built on the ground, not from behind a desk. We work where decisions have a real impact.
Our consultants immerse themselves in your factories, your teams and your processes to deliver transformations grounded in your reality, measurable, lasting, and carried forward by your own people.
OPEO is founded by David Machenaud, Frédéric Sandei and Michael Valentin, driven by the desire to start something and build a firm dedicated to industry.
After the first months of launch, OPEO wins its first clients in steel, luxury and aerospace, and the team begins to grow.
OPEO starts to integrate digital and data further into its industrial engagements, against a backdrop shaped by the rise of the industry of the future.
The health crisis causes a sudden halt in activity, but OPEO stays close to its clients and gradually prepares for the recovery.
After Covid, activity picks up strongly. OPEO hires, builds out its structure further and develops new topics such as circular industry and decarbonization.
Facing economic, geopolitical and energy instability, OPEO supports its clients through a period of more uncertain transformation.
OPEO is exploring AI as a lever to help industrial companies gain agility, adapt faster to their markets and improve performance.
I was drawn to the intellectual and organizational challenge of the OPEO adventure: building the future of our industries together.
What makes OPEO unique and rewarding is its model: people passionate about industry, complex engineering challenges, the tools of the best firms, all within an agile structure where you get more scope for action and integrated team development.
At OPEO, we work at every level with our clients, with an obligation of results. It's fascinating: on the first day you're discussing strategy with a CEO, and the next you're making sure it's actually being applied on the ground.
At OPEO, you move from aerospace to luxury, from supply chain to R&D and through production, always in contact with decision-makers driving real challenges. That diversity is why you never get bored.
I would have loved to work with consultants like the ones at OPEO when I was on the factory floor: committed, close to the ground, and genuinely listening to the teams.
