Asset Finance Loan

Background

Phil’s Martin’s quest in search of the perfect corn tortilla and tortilla chips led to the foundation of Blanco Niño in 2016. Operating in the heart of Ireland, Tipperary, their award-winning products are now being sold in leading Mexican restaurant chains across 16 European countries; as well as premium retailers across Ireland, the UK, Sweden, Norway and Iceland.

Challenges

While the Blanco Niño brand was well established in the Irish and European markets, the company wanted to invest further in R&D and streamline their production process. Improving shelf life, freshness and product lifespan with sustainable recyclable packaging was a key goal for the company. Moving from manual to more efficient and automated production would support improved profitability. To achieve these ambitions, Phil would need to invest in new machinery and equipment – and he required a finance partner who understood his business and would support his goals.

Solutions

Capitalflow was delighted to support this growing business operating within a competitive market. By partnering with Capitalflow, the business was able to progress its product development and business growth ambitions.

Capitalflow’s support to enable Blanco Niño invest in new machinery and equipment was instrumental in overcoming the challenges and achieving their business goals – improving the quality of the products and increasing their shelf life. The new automated packaging solutions have allowed Blanco Niño to improve their team’s efficiency, moving from expending costs on manual packaging to focusing on improving their production and quality.

“The ease of working with the Capitalflow team deserves recognition by itself . The financing facilities provided have been instrumental to the growth story of the Blanco Niño brand over the last 3 years. Partnering with Capitalflow has been one of the better decisions we’ve made as a business. From our first meeting with Peter Doyle, and now working together for over two years, it has been a joy from the start and we very much feel we’ve found a long term financing partner that we can rely on.”
