Manufacturing Sector

CVI provides financing to companies in the manufacturing sector – producers of components, building materials, packaging, industrial goods and other specialised B2B products. In our analyses, we take into account the capital-intensity of operations, the cyclical nature of demand, the importance of operational efficiency, the level of automation and the resilience of supply chains.

The manufacturing sector in Central Europe benefits from a strong industrial base, competitive labour costs and a location close to key Western European markets. At the same time, the sector is undergoing a significant transformation: companies are shortening and diversifying their supply chains, investing in automation, digitalisation and energy efficiency, and adapting their operating models to meet growing ESG requirements. The trends towards nearshoring and reindustrialisation are boosting the region’s appeal, but growth requires significant investment in production capacity, the modernisation of machinery, inventories and working capital.

CVI financing may be used to expand production capacity, purchase machinery and equipment, automate processes, fund working capital, finance mergers and acquisitions, refinance debt or buy out shareholders – as well as for any combination of these purposes. The typical value of a single transaction ranges from EUR 3 million to 30 million.
