Unleashing 200% Revenue Growth and Scaling Operations in Record Time: A Countertrade Success Story in the Consumer Goods Industry

Here's What We Do Better

Background
Our client, a consumer goods company based in the United States, produces high-quality household products for a broad market segment. Despite having a strong product line and a loyal customer base, they struggled with scaling operations and expanding to new markets. They faced challenges such as high production costs, limited access to international markets, and a lack of supplier diversity. As their countertrade expert and consultant, we stepped in to implement multiple countertrade mechanisms that would help them overcome these obstacles and achieve extraordinary results.
Problem
The client faced several issues:
  1. Difficulty scaling operations
  2. High production and operational costs
  3. Limited access to international markets
  4. Inadequate supplier diversity
COUNTERTRADE SOLUTIONS
SOLUTION 
We implemented the following countertrade mechanisms to address the client’s problems:
Solution #1
Counter-Purchase: We established agreements with suppliers in multiple countries, allowing the client to purchase raw materials at a more competitive price while also opening up new sales channels for their products.
Solution #2
Offsets (Direct and Indirect): We facilitated offset agreements with suppliers in various countries, leading to investments in the client’s domestic operations and the creation of new job opportunities, which significantly reduced their operational costs.
Solution #3
Joint Ventures: We helped the client form strategic joint ventures with local partners in target markets, enabling them to gain access to new customers and distribution channels.
Solution #4
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT): We set up BOT agreements for the construction and operation of manufacturing facilities in new markets, allowing the client to expand their production capacity without significant upfront investment.
Implementation
We worked closely with the client to identify suitable countertrade partners and negotiate favorable terms for each agreement. Once the agreements were in place, we provided ongoing support and guidance to ensure their successful execution and integration into the client’s existing operations.
