Tradewind has provided a €1 million post-shipment finance facility to a manufacturer and exporter of ready-made garments based in India. The company sells to Primark in the US, Ireland, the UK and Spain and is using Tradewind’s financing to meet its working capital requirement, keep up with production as orders come in, support increasing sales on open account terms, and explore potential growth opportunities. The facility is structured in two currencies, Euro and GPB.
Primark was already on Tradewind’s roster of buyers through its financing arrangements with other companies which also sell to the retailer. Because of Tradewind’s familiarity with Primark, combined with its flexibility, the entire funding process was easy for the client. Furthermore, Tradewind’s agility in funding in two currencies and its years of proven success servicing exporters in the apparel and textile industry made it the most suitable financial partner.
“We are pleased to onboard another client in the RMG sector in India who can use our fast funding to take on larger purchase orders and sustain a competitive edge in the industry. With nearly 20 years financing textile and apparel SMEs, we were happy to assist our client with the same expertise and international capabilities that have propelled other companies forward in this market,” states Ankit Goel, Managing Director of Tradewind India & UAE.
