Professional Services for Industry and Automotive

We help convert efficiency, investment and transformation into competitive advantages.

Industrial companies operate in an environment where small variations in costs, productivity, demand or capacity can have a significant impact on the results. Added to this are automation, transformation of supply chains, energy transition and, in automotive, a profound technological evolution of the product and its entire value chain.

Afianza accompanies manufacturers, suppliers and industry groups in decisions that affect both their operations and their business structure. We combine financial, fiscal, legal and strategic capabilities to boost efficiency, address corporate investments and operations and adapt the business to new competitive scenarios.

Frequently asked questions about the sector

The analysis should be based on a sufficiently detailed view of the results account and the operation. Raw materials and energy costs, productivity, capacity utilisation, purchases, inventories, logistics and profitability by product, customer or plant may reveal significant differences. Identifying where they originate allows prioritizing measures with greater impact capacity.

Eligibility depends on the characteristics of each project and the instrument available. Determined investments related to R & D & I, digitization, energy efficiency, automation, sustainability or modernization of productive processes can find support mechanisms. Analyzing projects in advance allows identifying existing alternatives and incorporating them into investment planning.

The electrification, the growing weight of software, automation and the evolution of the supply chain are modifying products, processes and investment needs. For manufacturers and suppliers, these changes may involve reviewing productive capacities, cost structure, investments, financing and positioning within the value chain. Their concrete impact will depend on the exposure of each company and its ability to adapt to the new market needs.
