THG Nutrition delivers high-quality sports nutrition products to more than 70 countries, operating multiple manufacturing facilities worldwide. As part of THG PLC, a global e-commerce and technology leader, THG Nutrition is committed to innovation, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. THG's facility in Warrington, United Kingdom, among its largest manufacturing sites, will be the first to implement Plex MES, with plans to expand across additional locations.
"Plex gives us the platform to act fast and smart," said Adam Pyne, production director for THG manufacturing. "With real-time dashboards, guided work instructions, and mobile-enabled inventory tracking, our teams can make informed decisions and optimize scheduling. Plex breaks down operational siloes and empowers our people to collaborate across departments, supporting our commitment to continuous improvement and world-class quality."
THG Nutrition's decision to adopt Plex was driven by the need for real-time operational visibility, streamlined quality management, and efficient inventory and production scheduling. Previously, the company relied on legacy systems and manual processes, which created siloes between departments. By choosing Plex, THG Nutrition gains a unified, cloud-based solution that provides a digital infrastructure that continually updates to the latest software version. This dynamism increases cost predictability while ensuring compliance and strengthening operational resiliency.
THG Nutrition's growth-by-acquisition business model requires rapid deployment of standardized processes across new sites. Plex's configurable, no-code platform enables THG's digital team to quickly replicate solutions, ensuring consistency and efficiency as the company expands. The cloud-based nature of Plex also provides flexibility for divestitures, allowing THG to easily adapt its IT footprint as the business evolves.
"THG Nutrition is growing fast, and Plex is the right solution for that journey," said Tom Forster, regional vice president, enterprise software sales, EMEA, Rockwell Automation. "THG selected Plex for its ability to unify manufacturing operations, deliver real-time insights, and support scalable growth. Our platform enables THG to standardise processes, reduce total cost of ownership, and maintain agility in a dynamic market."
