"Our current strategy is focused on seeking opportunities within the borders of South Africa, while long term our aspirations are to grow with our clients in the rest of Africa," says Jacques Mol, group manager of corporate finance and treasury at Nampak. "In order to realise this strategy, we needed a banking partner who is able to provide us with funding solutions and flexibility in terms of our short and long term needs."
