Evans & Evans

The Industrial sector continues to face significant challenges. The emergence of low-cost, high capability firms has not only disrupted traditional supply and distribution channels; it has also increased pressure for cost-cutting in an industry that is already trending towards reduced margins. And the pressure for cost-cutting is not likely to go away any time soon. Rising raw material and commodities costs and increased regulatory demands for environmentally-friendly processes have further chipped away at the sector’s profitability.

To overcome these challenges, industrial companies must focus on maximizing value from their existing capabilities while actively developing new ones. First and foremost this means developing operational strategies that focus on rationalizing existing manufacturing processes. Redundancies and other complexities must be eliminated. Companies also need to build superior innovation engines. Innovation remains key to allowing companies to escape from a cost-based model by diversifying their activities and focusing on the areas where the company can add unique value to customers.

Evans & Evans is actively involved in capital formation services for our industrial clients. We have executed numerous debt and equity transactions for industrial companies and have also served as an advocate role in successful sales and acquisitions.

In both our advisory and corporate finance roles, Evans & Evans’ goal is to allow companies to escape a cost-based model and transform their marginal market returns into exceptional returns.
