Core Services -- Turnarounds & Restructuring
Sometimes it just happens. Businesses can reach a point where they have become oversized, misaligned, or are in deep trouble and find themselves on a wrong path. Without extraordinary intervention, they may cease to exist. AF Capital has the expertise, experience, and resources to help companies get back on track. We have successfully helped numerous companies in returning to a profitable path.
Revitalization:
We help management revitalize the organization to motivate personnel to meet corporate goals resulting in increased morale and productivity that improves the bottom line. Often it can be done without getting rid of old blood, making drastic cuts in employment, or adding to overhead.
Restructuring:
We take a fresh look at the organization and develop improved organizational strategies that fit the company’s culture and long-term objectives. Like putting up a high-rise building, we start with the foundation first, and then help plan and build the proper structure on top of that foundation.
Should your company become involved with a merger or acquisition, we can provide the needed expertise to guide you through this complicated process.
Plant Closings that can Save Money, Save Jobs, and Save the Community:
With today’s economic climate, increased plant closings are highly likely. Consolidations of corporations, bankruptcies and further recessionary pressures tend to have a ripple effect throughout manufacturing supply chains.
For those cases where it becomes necessary to reduce overhead and close plants, we not only help develop a strategy so that the remaining corporate business can thrive, but we also develop approaches that repurpose the excess capacity destined for closure, enabling it to be self sufficient as a stand-alone business. We have developed a unique process that we call “Worker Friendly Plant Closings” to specifically address this situation in a way that is socially responsible.
AF Capital has developed a plant closing methodology that can save companies significant closure costs and write-offs, save jobs for many workers, and reduce the economic impact on the local communities when a corporation leaves the area. Working with the corporations, with the unions, and with the affected communities, AF Capital can help minimize the adverse effects of plant closings for all parties.
