Skyrocketing Profits: How a New Zealand Construction Company Overcame Surplus Product Challenges with Countertrade Solutions
Here's What We Do Better
Background
Our client is a New Zealand-based construction company specializing in the manufacturing and installation of prefabricated building components. They cater to the residential and commercial construction markets within the country, and were facing a significant challenge of finding buyers for their surplus products.
Problem
The company struggled with an inability to find buyers for surplus products, which led to high inventory levels and increased operational costs. Additionally, the company was unable to expand its global reach and tap into new markets to offload its excess inventory.
COUNTERTRADE SOLUTIONS
SOLUTION
As countertrade experts and consultants, we implemented several countertrade mechanisms to help the company overcome its challenges, optimize its resources, and achieve significant growth. The following mechanisms were used:
Solution #1
Counter-Purchase: We connected the company with international construction companies that required their prefabricated building components, and in return, our client committed to purchasing specific construction materials from these companies.
Solution #2
Offset Agreements: We facilitated offset agreements with suppliers in various countries, which led to investments in the New Zealand construction market and the acquisition of new technologies.
Solution #3
Joint Ventures: Our client entered into joint ventures with international construction companies to share resources, technologies, and expertise, enabling the company to increase its competitiveness in the global market.
Implementation
We began by conducting extensive market research to identify potential international partners who required our client’s prefabricated building components. After identifying suitable partners, we negotiated counter-purchase and offset agreements that benefited both parties. We also facilitated joint venture partnerships to encourage knowledge sharing and technology transfer.
