CAPEX Sourcing
Frugal Sourcing: Experience-Driven Foresight, Exceptional Value.
The Challenge:
A leading UK OEM faced a complex Greenfield project in Europe, aiming to manufacture 5,000 buses annually. Sourcing an advanced paint booth line was crucial, but the initial budget was strained by global inflation (COVID-19, Brexit). The challenge was compounded by the client’s evolving net-zero vision, requiring a shift to electric paint booth technology.
