Glass Container & Tableware Financing
Glass container and tableware manufacturers run energy-intensive furnaces, buy batch in bulk, and ship to beverage, food, and retail customers on extended terms. Factoring and PO financing keep the furnace fed through payment gaps.
You're melting batch into bottles, jars, and tableware against beverage, food, and retail demand. Sand, soda ash, and cullet are bought in volume, and your customer pays 45–90 days after shipment while the furnace never cheaply idles.
Seasonal beverage and retail demand front energy and raw material cost while the receivables lag into the next quarter, and one large beverage or food account can dominate your book.
We match glass container manufacturers to factoring against customer receivables, PO financing on batch and raw material buys, and equipment loans for the next furnace, IS machine, or lehr.
