    Location:

    -- South

    Background:

    The company specializes in manufacturing automotive parts. Founded in 1995 and located in the south, they had experienced recent sales declines and profitability losses.   

    Automotive parts manufacturer’s recent sales decline and revenue losses resulted in new loan denials from the local bank.


    Situation

    Opportunity To Pick Up A New Manufacturing Contract Required The Purchase Of A New Twin Spindle Lathe

    The company was presented with a new contract opportunity with an existing customer. However, their existing machine capabilities would not be able to handle the scope of new work. The new contract would require the purchase of a new twin spindle lathe at a price of approximately $626,000. Due to recent sales declines and resulting profitability losses, the bank declined the company’s loan request.

    Despite the recent losses, they did have a meaningful work backlog, long time in business and over $200,000 of equity in machines on their production floor.
