The Klesch Group, a major industrial commodities group, has secured a new financing deal worth $300m.
Powered by Demica, and funded by Coface Finanz, this will support the Klesch Group’s ongoing growth as it expands into new markets.
The non-recourse transaction provides the Klesch Group with an important new source of financing for its recently acquired refinery in Kalundborg, Denmark.
The programme supports Kalundborg Refinery’s working capital financing and enables it to continue growing the business. It will be implemented via Demica’s market-leading supply chain finance Platform, enabling automation of operational processes and facilitating data flow between all parties.
“We are delighted to have secured this landmark Receivables Finance transaction for Klesch Group, which represents one of the largest of its kind in the European market. We were able to help the Klesch Group and Coface Finanz structure a facility that met their requirements within a tight timeframe, with delivery of the transaction through the Demica Platform.”
