Funding machinery investment to support growth and efficiency
This month, we are pleased to share how NGI Finance supported a South West-based cardboard packaging manufacturer in securing tailored funding to invest in major new production equipment and support its ongoing growth plans. By arranging asset finance over 60 months, we enabled the business to acquire two high-value machines from Italy while preserving cashflow and reducing the need for additional labour as production volumes increase.
The need:
Our client is an established cardboard packaging manufacturer based in the South West, with ambitious growth plans and increasing demand from its customer base.
To support this expansion, the business identified the need to invest in two significant pieces of new machinery manufactured in Italy: a flatbed die cutting machine valued at £360,000 and a double-sided cardboard printing machine valued at £780,000.
These assets were central to the company’s strategy to improve production capacity, increase operational efficiency and reduce its reliance on labour-intensive processes. With demand continuing to grow, the directors wanted to ensure the business could fulfil future orders effectively without placing additional strain on staffing requirements or working capital.
They were therefore seeking a funding solution that would allow them to make this substantial investment while maintaining cashflow stability and supporting long-term growth.
The solution:
NGI Finance worked closely with the client to understand their operational objectives, investment plans and long-term growth strategy. Given the scale of the machinery purchase and the importance of preserving cashflow, we structured a tailored asset finance solution over 60 months.
The funding package enabled the business to:
- Purchase a flatbed die cutting machine valued at £360,000
- Acquire a double-sided cardboard printing machine valued at £780,000
- Spread the cost of the investment over a 60-month term
- Preserve working capital and maintain cashflow stability
- Improve production efficiency and output capacity
- Reduce the requirement for additional labour as demand increases
By structuring the finance in line with the company’s projected growth, the business was able to proceed with confidence, invest in advanced manufacturing capability and position itself to meet increased customer demand more efficiently.
