Why Surface Transforms Wanted a Finance Lease
Surface Transforms PLC is a UK-based manufacturer specialising in the design, development, and manufacturing of advanced carbon-ceramic composite materials, which are primarily used in high-performance braking systems, providing products for both the automotive and aerospace industries. As a leading manufacturer in the industry, Surface Transforms PLC have worked with some of the world’s largest and most well-known automotive companies, including Ferrari, Jaguar Land Rover, Aston Martin and Porsche.
The investment in Carl Zeiss’ ScanBox 4105 is a part of Surface Transforms’ plans for growth and productivity. The equipment will ensure that component parts for the manufacturing process are 99.999% accurate, increasing efficiency and reducing wastage, allowing for the company to increase sustainable levels of production over the coming years.
Enabling Smarter Procurement Through a Finance Lease
Through SAF’s 14-year-long partnership with Carl Zeiss, we were introduced to Surface Transforms to create a bespoke finance solution for the procurement of the Carl Zeiss ScanBox 4105.
Quality communication between all parties meant that Surface Transforms requirements were fully understood, allowing for the creation of a 3-year finance lease, which provided the solutions for state-of-the-art equipment to be procured without the need for immediate capital outlay. This solution was a critical part of Surface Transforms’ long-term plans to increase growth in productivity.
Scalable Growth and Technology Investment Through Bespoke Finance
SAF’s bespoke finance solution enabled the procurement of state-of-the-art equipment quickly and effectively, which was critical to the company’s ongoing plans to increase the efficiency and overall quality of the production of Surface Transform’s products.
Through the 3-year finance lease structure, this mitigated the need for immediate capital expenditure, providing Surface Transforms with the ability to improve cashflow management.
We are delighted to have provided the bespoke finance solution that supported Surface Transforms in the procurement of cutting-edge technology without impacting their immediate capital reserves. This is another fantastic example of how effective collaboration with our longstanding supplier partner Carl Zeiss can result in creating the perfect solution for a customer’s procurement parameters. We’re proud to have assisted with Surface Transforms’ growth and continued innovation in the high-performance manufacturing sector.
