As one of the world’s leading aviation paint companies, the business experienced significant growth in recent years and wanted to expand beyond its domestic Irish market. Working within multiple international supply chains on 70 day credit terms presented challenges on its cashflow. This created a need for a global finance partner who could provide flexible and reliable funding to support its daily operations and ongoing growth.
A bespoke funding structure was put in place through collaboration of BFS teams in Ireland, Germany, and the Netherlands. This facilitated Maas Aviation in meeting the demands of its international expansion from Ireland into Europe and more recently the United States. The facilities provided allow the business to service contracts for key partner Airbus as well as other manufacturers.
"We supported Maas Aviation with a cross-border funding solution provided by our teams in Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany to support its daily operations and growth aspirations. The key to structuring such a complex international funding line is communication and being able to leverage our global footprint" - Mark O'Rourke, Managing Director, BFS Ireland, Andreas Dehlzeit, Managing Director, BFS Germany and Rob Retèl, Managing Director, BFS Netherlands
