MÖNCHENGLADBACH, Germany, March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Businesses dealing in lower-priced, lower margin products typically need to sell higher volumes to turn a profit. Financing exports can facilitate large enough shipments to achieve profitability in these cases.
In this vein, Tradewind Finance, a global trade finance firm, is pleased to announce an additional factoring facility of EUR 35 million for one of its longstanding clients, a steel manufacturer based in Europe with operations worldwide. The facility was structured for the manufacturer’s European business. As part of today’s announcement, the firm is also proud to share that it has funded its largest single shipment of nearly EUR 15 million for an entirely full vessel of square billets, a product made from scrap metal.
The German vessel used in the transaction, which had a port of loading in Oman and was unloaded in Italy, carried 14,005 pieces of billets and weighed 29,507 metric tons. The lower margin billets sold at scale from the shipload can be expected to increase profitability for the steel client.
The new financing marks Tradewind’s continued commitment of providing financial and trade support for the commodities industry, as well as its ability to scale funding in line with its clients’ growth. The record funding installment is a milestone for Tradewind in its nearly 25 years of providing tailor-made trade finance for its clients.
