This manufacturer, with a long and successful history in the industry, focuses on niche markets where the quality and specifications of the paper and board are essential. These include packaging materials for sensitive electronics, high-quality labels and special applications in the printing industry. Recent growth, after several financially weaker years, was a positive sign of market appreciation for their expertise and products, but at the same time put pressure on the company's liquidity position.
Urgency
The paper and board producer's management recognised the urgency of the situation. In order to continue growth and realise planned investments without operational disruptions, quick action was required. Therefore, they enlisted the expertise of us, Xolv Finance, as their trusted financial advisor. Our first step was a thorough analysis of the customer's financial situation and specific credit needs. We mapped its growth potential, solid order book and healthy market position. Based on this, we developed a clear financing strategy that matched the company's ambitions and specific circumstances.
Crucial factor
A crucial factor in successfully and quickly realising the required financing was our close cooperation with Alfa Commercial Finance. Thanks to our years of experience in the financial sector and our extensive network, we were able to quickly identify the right partner, who could not only provide the funding but also understood the complexities of the industry. The lines of communication with Alfa Commercial Finance were short and communication was efficient. By jointly presenting our client's strengths and clearly outlining the underlying business case, we quickly gained trust. The streamlined process and the proactive approach of both our team and that of Alfa Commercial Finance resulted in a surprisingly fast turnaround time.
Immediate anticipation
Within just three weeks of first making contact, the required credit facility was a reality. This quick realisation enabled the paper and board producer to immediately anticipate growing demand, push ahead with planned investments and strengthen its liquidity position. This case highlights the importance of expert financial advice combined with a strong partner network. By moving quickly, identifying the right financing solution and working effectively with a trusted financing partner like Alfa Commercial Finance, we were able to provide our client with the crucial financial headroom needed for further growth and success in a short period of time. It is a great example of how strategic financial management can have a significant impact on a company's continuity and development.
