Manufacturing Company Experienced
​Continued Growth

​A $7 million manufacturing company, experiencing continued growth, was running out of space to accommodate expected volume increases.

Challenges:
  • Their facility lease, which required a 6 month notification, was expiring.
  • A year ahead of the expiration, the company began to evaluate their alternatives.
  • Possibilities included adding to the existing leased facility, building new or moving to an existing building.
  • The estimated cost of moving to a different location included $200,000 to move and reinstall the manufacturing equipment.
  • Major considerations of relocation were the retention of a skilled workforce and staging the move to cause minimal disruption of customer deliveries.
Solution:
  • The Lauber Business Partners, Inc. CFO, working with the management team, developed a financial model to evaluate multiple scenarios including various purchase options.
  • Using the financial model, the bank was kept apprised of the financial ramifications of the various alternatives and how the move would potentially impact the loan covenants and cash flow.
  • An existing facility that met the size requirements was identified. The financial model was used to validate feasibility. A review of the employee roster indicated minimum disruption to the workforce.
  • The financial model was used to calculate the impact of the new facility on overhead rates and break-even, as well as the impact on cash of adding equipment needed for future growth.
What this meant to company:
  • The company was positioned for long-term future growth.
  • Setting up the new facility provided for a better workflow which resulted in improved productivity.
  • The company incorporated new technology to improve shop floor control.
  • Based on forward looking financial information, the bank was very supportive of the move and provided funding for the future equipment needs.
The value of a Part-time Lauber Business Partners CFO:
  • Extensive domain expertise in senior financial position.
  • A trusted adviser to owner/CEO on many matters.
