Manufacturing & Logistics
Manufacturers, distributors, shipping and logistics groups managing working capital, capacity investment and supply-chain risk.
Overview
Manufacturing and logistics run on thin margins and heavy working capital. We help owners and boards free cash from operations, fund capacity, and manage the currency and supplier risk that comes with cross-border supply chains. It is where the firm has its longest track record.
What is changing
Supply chains are reorganising around regional trade agreements and new corridors between Africa, the Gulf and Asia. Businesses that win new volume often find their balance sheet, not their operations, sets the limit on growth.
Issues we are asked to solve
- Working capital and cash conversion
- Funding new lines, fleets and warehousing
- Currency exposure on imported inputs
- Succession and sale of family-owned groups
- Cost control and margin recovery
