Integrated Industrial Assets
Privatization and restructuring of integrated steel, coal and related industrial assets.
Manufacturing + Industry
Strategic transactions involving manufacturing businesses, process plants and industrial production assets. We advise on acquisitions, partnerships, plant development and financing, with attention to the operating arrangements that support production.
Ownership. Production. Growth.
Industrial investment connects the ownership of the business with the inputs, technology, facilities and customers on which it depends. We bring investment structures, construction and equipment contracts, supply arrangements and financing together to support new plants, acquisitions and expansion.

Metals + Heavy Industry
Metals and heavy-industry investments connect raw materials and energy with processing capacity and customer demand. We advise on acquisitions, partnerships, privatizations, bankruptcy restructurings, plant development and financing, aligning the commercial commitments that support production, margins and expansion.
Inputs + Investment
Ore, concentrate, scrap and other feedstock must meet the plant’s requirements on workable commercial terms. We address ownership and partnership structures alongside supply, power and utility arrangements, including quality, volume, pricing and interruption risk.
Plant + Performance
Engineering, equipment and construction arrangements must translate the production plan into reliable capacity. We coordinate technology-provider and contractor responsibilities, commissioning, throughput and consumption tests, maintenance and plant upgrades. Toll-processing arrangements require clear terms for yield, metal accounting, losses and by-product allocation.
Sales + Expansion
Product specifications, customer qualification and delivery commitments shape access to markets. We structure sales, offtake and logistics arrangements alongside working-capital and investment financing, with attention to price adjustments, capacity expansion and the obligations inherited when acquiring an operating business.

Chemicals + Fertilizers
Chemical and fertilizer investments depend on the relationship between feedstock costs, process technology and product markets. We advise on acquisitions, partnerships, plant development and financing, bringing supply, technology, construction and sales commitments into a coherent investment structure.
Feedstock + Technology
Gas, raw materials and utilities must be available on terms that support the plant’s economics. We structure supply and technology arrangements around quality, pricing, volume and continuity, including process licenses, catalyst supply and technical support. Technology-provider obligations must align with the performance promised by equipment suppliers and contractors.
Construction + Performance
Plant delivery requires clear responsibility for design, equipment, construction and commissioning. We address contractor interfaces, completion tests, throughput, product specifications and energy or feedstock consumption. Storage, handling and transport arrangements must support safe operation and the intended production schedule.
Markets + Capital
Product sales, distribution and export arrangements must work with production volumes, storage capacity and working-capital needs. We negotiate pricing, delivery, quality and payment terms alongside the investment and financing structure, including the commitments required for expansion or the acquisition of an operating plant.

Cement + Materials
Cement investments combine integrated process plants with raw-material access, energy supply and distribution. We advise on acquisitions, partnerships, plant development and financing, aligning the commercial commitments that support production, operating costs and market access.
Resources + Energy
Quarry rights, raw materials and energy supply must support the plant’s operating requirements. We structure supply and conversion arrangements around fuel choice, quality, pricing and continuity, including alternative fuels and changes in the fuel mix. Grid supply, captive generation and backup power require clear commitments for capacity, availability and cost where relevant.
Process Plant + Performance
Raw-material preparation, kiln systems, grinding and handling must function as an integrated process. We coordinate engineering, equipment and construction contracts around output, product quality, energy consumption and emissions requirements. Fuel conversions, plant upgrades and capacity additions require aligned supply specifications, equipment modifications, performance tests and shutdown arrangements.
Distribution + Growth
Transport costs, storage and customer access shape the market a plant can serve. We structure bulk transport, terminal, distribution and sales arrangements alongside working-capital and investment financing. For acquisitions and expansion, we address inherited commitments, additional capacity and the route to increased sales.

Food + Agri-Processing
Food and agri-processing investments connect agricultural supply with processing capacity, product quality and access to customers. We advise on acquisitions, partnerships, plant development and financing, aligning procurement, production and distribution commitments with seasonal supply and working-capital needs.
Supply + Quality

We structure pricing, delivery, inspection and rejection terms, including seasonal commitments and responsibility for storage losses. Supply obligations must work with the plant’s requirements and the standards promised to customers.
Processing + Logistics
Processing, packaging and storage facilities must deliver the required yield, quality and shelf life. We coordinate equipment, construction and operating contracts with commissioning and performance tests, cold-chain services and transport arrangements. Responsibilities for contamination, spoilage, product recalls and business interruption must be clear across the supply chain.
Markets + Funding
Sales, distribution and export arrangements connect production to customers and payment. We address private-label and customer contracts, forecasts, purchase commitments, returns and payment security alongside seasonal working-capital, inventory and investment financing. Acquisitions and expansion require careful treatment of existing supplier and customer relationships.
