Manufacturing Facility Investment Analysis for Multi-Format Packaging Solutions
Client Background
A leading food and beverage manufacturer in Africa sought to expand its operations by establishing a packaging manufacturing facility. With a strong presence in Nigeria and the wider West African market, the client aimed to strengthen its supply chain resilience and reduce dependency on third-party packaging suppliers. The proposed plant was envisioned to produce multiple packaging formats, including case packaging, flexible packaging, and PET bottles, to support both internal operations and external market demand.
Client’s Challenge
The client needed a comprehensive investment analysis to evaluate the technical and financial feasibility of setting up a new packaging manufacturing facility in Nigeria. Beyond basic cost estimation, they required clarity on the full lifecycle of investment, from capital expenditure and raw material sourcing to long-term profitability and risk management.
Key questions centered on the financial returns under different operating scenarios, the impact of energy consumption on cost structures, and the viability of adopting energy-efficient technologies. The absence of reliable benchmarks on cost, labor, and capacity utilization in the local context posed additional complexity to the investment decision.
