Overview Case Studies

Monday, 20 April 2009 00:00 |

Renaissance Partners is a leading performance improvement / corporate renewal firm specializing in retailing, consumer products and its supply chain (manufacturers, distributors, service and technology providers), manufacturing and service sectors (hospitality, restaurant, racino and racetrack operations, real estate) Owned and staffed by successful experienced operators, the Renaissance team has been creating value in and restoring health to stagnant or mature businesses since 1979. Renaissance partners and principals do the work in a timely and cost effective manner. The firm maintains solid relationships with lenders and business partners who are knowledgeable in the retail and retail related industry.

The retail/consumer products industry faces a maturing US economy, increased unemployment, higher food and fuel prices, increased taxes and insurance costs, social security concerns, rising medical costs, a time stressed society and most recently extreme volatility in the housing (including lower housing prices), credit, equity and global markets. Performance influencers include fast paced fashion cycle changes, over-storing and over-capacity, tightening of credit by lenders, the Wal-Mart and consolidation effects and growth in internet retailing. Competitive changes continue as the large players get bigger and stronger. Indirect challenges are posed by large retailers in many merchandise categories and the effect of thrift-chain growth. Private equity and hedge fund investments are furthering consolidation in many segments of the retail industry and demonstrating unwillingness to reinvest in troubled portfolio companies plagued by excessive leverage. The issues affecting consumer businesses trickle down to most sectors of the US and world economies.
