A salesman, an engineer and a buyer walk into a bar…

No joke. LeanPie founders were determined to rewrite the rules for an industry mired in stagnation…
the right location sparked inspiration.

Pull up a seat. Can we tell you how?

Our Approach

Moving the needle just wasn’t enough – we had to move a mountain. Initiating change so HUGE it would revolutionize the industry.

Here is the vision that was born in the bar that night...

Focus on the largest portion of the budget

fixture manufacture

Know what you’re paying for —

bid the production

Work with a partner who focuses on

engineering and execution

Ask for

cost transparency

Ensure overhead allocation

relates to the services you use

Demystify pricing —

separate production costs

Make ‘one-off costs’

well, ‘one-off’

Keep overhead

lean

Offer multi-regional

supply options

Total supply chain transparency to deliver the lowest overall program cost!

Best Total Value

Our transparent (some may say naïve) model captured peer attention and we were quickly acquired by LG&P, a successful retail fixtures agency who recognized the strength of partnership.

Retailers and brands must balance their needs for efficient purchasing while maintaining differentiation and innovation. Our partnership offers these individually or together – but you maximize ROI when your combine our strengths. Agency overhead on your design and production overhead on your products. BOOM!

LeanPie has the proven ability to deliver on both needs

Idea Development

Optimal Outcomes

When a program is in its infancy and needs research, concept design and development to get started, we offer a hybrid solution. Working hand-in hand with our parent, the LG&P group of companies delivers a blended solution.

We optimize best in class design with world class production at a lower overhead application. This is where your dollars go further.

Anne McNeill

President

Music was her first love, but then Anne discovered Marketing at Retail and didn't feel quite so disappointed about her original career choice barely covering the odd bar tab! Having solved fixture problems across the globe for both brands and retailers, she jumped at the chance of disrupting an industry that deserved positive reinvention.
