Our borrower is the operating company of the logistics business line with a 11% of the revenue and 52% of the profitability. Financials analysis has been done on the consolidated financials which mirrors the performance of the group. The scope of consolidation includes our borrower and 14 more companies.

With a turnover of 35 003 836 € in 2017 and an experienced team, the company has a good track record combined with a two-digits operating margin.

Increase of turnover and profitability is related with the development of the new business lines over the past years. The forecast is based on 2018’s Business Plan with the development of the new business lines together with the savings from the acquisition of the ship.
