NBI, a bearings company, was floated on the MAB in 2015, after a few years in which the crisis in the sector hit hard. It has managed to recover and is now growing through purchase of companies in order to differentiate itself. It has also opened a new plant in Romania to enter an earlier stage in the value chain.
Activity of NBI Bearings

NBI Bearings Europe, is a Spanish company with more than a decade of experience, which researches and develops, designs, manufactures and markets high quality, high performance bearings directly to industrial machinery manufacturers.

This bearing market is a very competitive market, where there are strong international competitors and at the same time, it is difficult to differentiate the product. Therefore, the crisis has seriously affected this market. To face this threat, NBI is strengthening its commercial area. With the announcement of the acquisition of the manufacturing companies Egikor, Industrias Betico and Talleres Ermua, NBI Bearings will be able to reduce costs while enhancing the diversification of its product portfolio and customer base. In addition, NBI Bearings has launched its subsidiary in Romania. This team, located in a strategic centre, will allow the company to enter a previous phase of the product, which is the design phase. On the other hand, the start-up of the production plant in Álava is planned for 2017.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
