Lanark

What Lanark does

Lanark is a privately held Belgian supply chain consulting firm headquartered in Antwerp, founded in 2018 by Wim Farasyn with the backing of the Talenco group. The company provides two service lines: Operations Support, delivered through embedded young supply chain engineers (the YSCE program) who ensure daily supply continuity inside client teams, and Projects Support, delivered by senior engineers who lead end-to-end transformation initiatives. Its stated customer base includes 50+ companies spanning food & beverage (Mondelez, Haacht Brewery, Beltaaste, Gudrun Group), pharmaceuticals and healthcare (Pfizer, Alcon, Avanos), manufacturing and materials (Procter & Gamble, 3M, Umicore, EJOT), agriculture (Biobest, Arvesta), infrastructure and aerospace (Infrabel, SABCA), and energy services (EQUANS). Lanark operates a direct enterprise sales model with relationship-driven engagement and multi-year professional services contracts; it does not develop or sell proprietary software, instead implementing and optimizing client systems such as SAP (S4, EWM), Navision, and WMS solutions.

The company's competitive positioning rests on its engineer-embedded delivery model and the breadth of its eight supply chain domains: supply chain planning, procurement, warehousing, transport, customer service, analytics & technology, end-to-end supply chain, and product lifecycle. Primary verticals are food & beverage and healthcare/pharmaceuticals, with secondary exposure to manufacturing, agriculture, and private equity (operational due diligence and post-merger integration). GTM is concentrated in the Benelux and broader European markets. The technology stack is third-party enterprise software (SAP, Navision, WMS) augmented by reporting, visualization, ETL automation, and what-if scenario modelling capabilities delivered as professional services rather than licensed products. Lanark has not disclosed external funding rounds, M&A activity, or revenue figures, and currently sits within the Talenco group structure rather than as an independent capital-backed entity.

Core offering

Lanark provides B2B supply chain consulting by placing embedded supply chain engineers within client teams. Operations Support delivers Young Supply Chain Engineers (YSCE) on a mid-to-long-term basis to ensure daily supply continuity, while Projects Support engages senior engineers to lead transformation projects. Services span eight supply chain domains: planning, procurement, warehousing, transport, customer service, analytics & technology, end-to-end supply chain, and product lifecycle.

Product overview

Lanark is a supply chain consulting and professional services firm offering hands-on operational and project-based support across the entire supply chain. The company operates through two main service lines: Operations Support (via the YSCE team of young engineers for daily operational continuity) and Projects Support (via experienced engineers for transformation initiatives). Their expertise spans eight core domains: Supply Chain Planning, Procurement, Warehousing, Transport, Customer Service, Analytics & Technology, End-to-end Supply Chain, and Product Lifecycle. These domain capabilities are delivered as professional services rather than standalone software products, with teams embedded in client organizations to drive operational improvements and digital transformation.
