TMS Implementation at Fiberweb

by Christof Nelischer, former Group Treasurer, Fiberweb

Fiberweb plc is one of the world’s largest and leading suppliers of high performance, specialty non-woven fabrics. One of the ways it seeks to drive profitable growth and enhance its competitive position is by improving cost reductions and operational efficiency on a global scale. Following the company’s flotation in 2006, it was faced with the challenge of setting up a best practice treasury operation in a short timeframe, as described in a previous edition of TMI. As part of this project, Fiberweb made the decision to implement the Wallstreet Treasury ASP solution to support a streamlined, efficient Treasury operation without placing a heavy burden on resources.

One of our objectives was to introduce best practice models for key treasury operations and services to the rest of the company.
