The equipment need
The company needed to equip its lines with assembly equipment dedicated to producing automotive parts and subassemblies.
These investments are made at the start of a vehicle program, while volumes and customer payments only ramp up gradually, so the gap between spending and revenue weighed directly on cash flow.
- Assembly stations and lines
- Subassembly production tooling
The support described in the project
Leaseworld structured a 60-month equipment lease with a purchase option covering all assembly stations and their tooling.
The term was matched to the expected production life of the programs involved.
A deferred first payment was negotiated to cover the qualification and ramp-up period.
The reported operational outcome
The lines were installed and qualified without tying up equity.
Lease payments began once production started, in line with the first customer invoices.
The supplier kept its bank lines available to finance working capital and inventory.
