Manufacturing and Industrial Finance

Our role in the sector

Nearshoring is redirecting European supply chains toward the Western Balkans, where competitive labour costs meet EU market proximity.

Existing manufacturers need capital to expand capacity and modernise.

We arrange capex, acquisition and working-capital financing for industrial businesses, and structure the development of industrial, logistics and mixed-use parks.

We may consider an investment only after the project and risks have been independently assessed.

Technical development, construction and operation remain with the responsible parties.

Where another group company is the operating specialist, ERAM Invest’s role remains limited to investment, financing, capital structuring, advisory and transaction support — operational execution stays with the relevant specialist.

How does nearshoring affect regional manufacturers?

European supply chains are being redirected toward the Western Balkans on cost and EU-proximity grounds. The opportunity is real, but capturing it usually requires capacity investment ahead of contracted demand — which is a financing problem.
