Success stories: V&L

Context

 

Until recently, diabetes was the second-leading cause of death in Mexico. In addition to poor country-wide diets, a shortage of insulin supply as well as high prices for the only available (branded) insulin were major contributors. A Mexican pharmaceutical company, V&L, identified the opportunity to save lives by importing generic insulin.

After setting up their initial supply chain with an Indian manufacturer, V&L was seeking a financing partner to help them launch their generic insulin business and support operations moving forward. Most pressing, V&L lacked access to working capital to enter the market, and subsequently meet growing demand. Banks were not a viable financing option as they were unfavorable to their supply chain and demand pattern complexities.
