Robust International Pte. Ltd.

Our role

Robust International Pte. Ltd. has partnered with Investec Bank Limited to implement a tailored supply chain finance solution designed to improve working capital efficiency across its global trading operations.

The facility uses a hybrid structure that combines elements of accounts payable and receivables finance. This enables Robust to bridge funding requirements at critical stages of the trade cycle, from settling suppliers to financing the voyage period between shipment and final settlement with end customers.

The solution was structured by Investec’s International Trade Finance specialists to align funding more closely with the physical movement of goods, optimising liquidity without disrupting supplier relationships or altering customer payment terms. The facility is well suited to Robust’s international trading model and complements the company’s integrated supply chain operations, spanning procurement, processing and distribution across multiple markets.
