Case Study: Leading Industrial Machinery Company reduces FX risk by €0.4M and saves 30% of treasury time with Kantox

How a leading industrial machinery company leveraged automation across its complete FX workflow

Leading Industrial Machinery Company, a Germany‑headquartered manufacturer with EUR 100m revenue and operations across Europe, the Americas and Asia, faced time‑consuming, error‑prone FX processes: exposures were identified manually, hedges were only executed twice monthly, and the listed group needed to implement Hedge Accounting. To address this, the company engaged Kantox and its Currency Management Automation / Kantox Dynamic Hedging® to automate the end‑to‑end FX workflow.

Kantox implemented an automated hedging program driven by sales orders for USD, CNY and JPY, with Kantox Dynamic Hedging® routing executions to the company’s chosen liquidity providers via 360T and enforcing the firm’s risk‑manager rules. The solution centralized reporting, cut FX risk deviation by €0.4M annually, saved €20K on forward points, reduced treasurer work time by ~30%, and mitigated ongoing currency exposure.
