Building a relationship that supports long-term ambition
Orapi Maintenance are specialists when it comes to industrial maintenance. They’re part of a French-headquartered global group.
For over 50 years they’ve supplied manufacturers in over 40 countries with the right products. These products help keep operations running for longer and reduce shutdowns.
They were entering a key growth phase in the UK and wanted a banking partner that could support their plans.
We took the time to understand their long-term ambitions and global structure. That helped us spot where we could support them more strategically.
Santander has been a valuable partner. Their support has helped us move forward with confidence and they were with us at the launch of our new site. They have taken the time to understand our business, our ambitions, and the importance of this move to our long-term growth.
With the support of partners such as Santander, we are strengthening our position as a credible alternative to global industrial players by combining UK manufacturing, technical expertise, agility and personal service with a facility built for the future.
UK Divisional Director, Orapi Maintenance
We were able to provide a tailored funding package. This included a full UK banking transition. Enhanced payment capability with Worldpay and Airplus to streamline corporate card management. Plus, our strong global network, including key links in Spain and France, meant we could support their cross-border operations smoothly.
Orapi are exactly the type of business we love to support at Santander. An ambitious global manufacturer with a clear vision for growth and a strong commitment to investing in the UK. It’s been a true team effort on both sides, with colleagues across Santander working closely alongside ORAPI's UK and international leadership teams to help support their ambitions.
We’ll continue to work closely to support jobs and future growth in the UK and overseas. And we'll keep sharing wider expertise through initiatives such as our Cyber Risk event. This will help strengthen and protect their business.
Business Development Director, Santander
With the right banking support in place, they're now well placed to grow confidently in the UK. All whilst improving efficiency and integration across their global group structure.
