Consumer goods

CVI has provided funding to numerous entrepreneurs in the consumer goods sector – we have experience in investments relating to food, clothing and cosmetics, homeware, automotive parts and others. Each of these sectors operates according to its own logic, which is why we analyse both the internal conditions of the business and the external trends shaping consumer demand.

The consumer goods sector has undergone a profound transformation in recent years. Following a period of upheaval – the pandemic, disrupted supply chains and high inflation – the market has entered a phase of stabilisation. Consumers have become more aware and discerning: they compare prices more carefully and seek real value – that is, solid quality at a reasonable price. At the same time, the sector is influenced by phenomena such as the maturing e-commerce sector, the growing role of artificial intelligence, sustainability requirements, and the shortening and diversification of supply chains.

CVI financing can be used for capital expenditure, working capital, mergers and acquisitions, debt refinancing, recapitalisation or the buy-out of shareholders – as well as any combination of these purposes. The typical value of a single transaction ranges from EUR 3 million to 30 million.
