Sector challenges

• Global industrial firms are managing complex supply chains, automation investment, and energy transition demands—all while optimizing cost structure and navigating rising interest rates.

• Fragmentation across production assets and inconsistent financial reporting can obscure true performance and hamper strategic agility.

• Family-owned and privately held industrial businesses often lack the operational discipline or market readiness to pursue strategic alternatives or exits.

The R²P value-add

• Full operational diligence and restructuring plans that balance workforce, production, and financial strategy alignment.

• Transaction readiness and capital advisory to support proactive recapitalizations, partial liquidity events, or succession transitions.

• Post-merger integration support and cross-border transaction structuring to facilitate consolidation or scale manufacturing footprints.

Impact brief

• A legacy industrial manufacturer approached R²P as it teetered on the brink of bankruptcy. Overleveraged and facing declining demand, the company sought a way forward.

• R² Partners stepped in to negotiate with senior creditors and led the creation of a pre-arranged debt restructuring strategy.

• Simultaneously, we revamped plant utilization strategies and implemented working capital discipline across all business units.

• The restructuring was completed consensually in under six months. EBITDA stabilized within two quarters, and the company is now positioned for strategic acquisition discussions.
