Richards Industries

Giving new marketing prominence to an established in-house brand increased Richards sales for that line by 70%, just six months after their initial Eureka! Session. Now they’re ready to do the same thing for another line.

The Problem: Richards Industries sterile valve line was growing – but barely. With an industry growth rate of 20% in that area and Richards only realizing 2% growth, it was clear that they were missing a real opportunity for revenue.

steriflow valveThe Solution: During the Trailblazer Development portion of their Eureka! Winning Ways the team learned a method to reduce risk by doing an entrepreneurial competitive, customer, financial and feasibility study in 30 days. The result: they discovered that they were holding their product to a higher standard than their competitors – but that higher standard made it look like they were actually failing on key statistics rather than winning.


Richards completely rebranded the line as "Steriflow" and, as a result, are realizing $250,000 additional revenue per month because of it. Plus, they’ve received both the "Biggest Breakthrough" award from Cincinnati Magazine and the "2007 Innovation Award" from Flow Control Magazine.
