In recognition of the increasingly important relationship between the financial community and the global automotive supplier industry, CSM Worldwide today announced the formation of the CSM Financial Services Group.
According to President and CEO Craig Cather, "We've launched the CSM Financial Services Group to meet the special needs of those who provide capital to auto suppliers. With our vast experience and comprehensive knowledge base in the global auto industry, we're in a unique position to provide valuable services to clients responsible for key financial decisions."
The newly formed group will provide specialized global auto industry insight to help supplier CFOs, commercial banks, investment and merchant banks, private equity firms, investment analysts, investment companies, turnaround specialists, and accounting firms make well-informed decisions and provide effective counsel to automotive suppliers.
Services will include auto industry forecasts, supplier risk analysis, supplier booked business validation, target marketing for financial services, and due diligence for credit analysis and mergers and acquisitions.
The CSM Financial Services Group will be led by two current CSM analysts: Jim Gillette, director of supplier analysis, and Mike Wall, manager of forecasts & analysis.
