Case Study 1:

High-Value Opportunity Identification
in the Automotive Sector

Spanish Manufacturer of Thermal Oxidizers (Air Treatment Technology)

Challenge: 

A Spanish company manufacturing thermal oxidizers wanted to expand its footprint in the automotive sector but struggled to identify qualified opportunities. Many RFQs received were either misaligned with their technology, incomplete in scope, or outside their target applications. This created wasted effort and slowed their sales pipeline. The company needed access to validated, high potential opportunities where its solution was a true fit.

Solution:

Lead to Deal leveraged its consultant network and direct prospection to uncover a significant air treatment project within a European automotive plant. We validated the lead by confirming technical requirements, environmental compliance targets, and the client’s budget framework. Once the opportunity was qualified, we introduced the manufacturer directly to their VP of Operations, and facilitated the initial discussions.

Our involvement focused on:

  • Lead Validation: Confirming the project’s scope matched thermal oxidizer technology.

  • Decision-Maker Access: Introducing the manufacturer to the client’s environmental and engineering teams.

  • Opportunity Shaping: Assisting both parties in clarifying technical expectations before negotiations began.

Results:

The manufacturer entered the negotiation phase with confidence, knowing the opportunity was real, well-defined, and aligned with their technology.

Case Study 2:

Negotiating a Scrubber System Contract
in the Battery Industry

European Manufacturer of Scrubber Systems

Challenge:

A large industrial operator in the battery materials sector needed an advanced scrubber system for a new facility in Eastern Europe. The project was highly competitive, with multiple international bidders, and the client’s requirements included strict environmental performance targets, reliability under continuous operation, and delivery within tight construction timelines.

For the manufacturer, the challenge was to enter the negotiation with clarity on scope, structure a competitive commercial offer, and manage complex discussions around risk, performance, and delivery guarantees.

Solution: 

Lead to Deal identified the opportunity through our consultant network and qualified it as a strong fit for the manufacturer’s scrubber technology. We facilitated the introduction, then actively supported the negotiation process by:

  • Clarifying Scope: Helping both sides align on system performance expectations and compliance requirements.

  • Structuring Terms: Assisting in defining payment milestones, delivery timelines, and performance penalties that balanced risk between parties.

  • Maintaining Momentum: Ensuring communication remained clear and constructive, preventing delays in the negotiation phase.

Results:

The manufacturer secured a major contract to deliver a scrubber system for the new battery facility. Thanks to our support, the deal was structured on a solid foundation, with clear milestones and fair risk allocation — positioning both the client and the supplier for a successful execution phase.

Case Study 3:

Engineering Contracts for Air Treatment Project (North Africa)

European Engineering Consultant

Challenge: 

A major industrial operator in North Africa was facing a complex odor-control and air treatment challenge. Their priority was to find an engineering partner capable of designing a system that would reliably achieve the required environmental performance while meeting international standards.

Solution: 

Lead to Deal identified the opportunity through our consultant network and introduced the client to a qualified European engineering consultant. We facilitated the early discussions, ensuring technical requirements and performance expectations were clearly understood by both sides.

This resulted in a stepwise engagement:

  • An initial consulting contract to design a tailored solution

 

  • A follow-up engineering contract to develop the conceptual and basic engineering and prepare detailed specifications for an upcoming international tender.

 

Results: 

The staged approach provided the client with confidence in the solution design and delivered a tender framework that will now open a new opportunity for other engineering companies to compete for the full-scale project implementation.

Case Study 4:

British Engineering Company

Client: Spanish Industrial Company – Automotive Sector

Challenge: 

A British engineering company developing a new energy plant in the Emirates needed to source several critical technology packages before handing the project over to an EPC contractor. These included wastewater treatment, water supply systems, pumps, and baghouse filters. The challenge was to identify the right suppliers early, ensuring proposals were technically compliant, cost-competitive, and aligned with international standards.

Solution:

Lead to Deal introduced the best-fit suppliers for each package from our network of technology partners. We worked closely with the client to:

  • Validate technical compliance of the proposals.

  • Facilitate communication between engineering teams and suppliers.

  • Align expectations so that the suppliers’ quotes met all requirements and were ready for the next stage.

Results: 

By the time the EPC contractor takes over, the client already has a set of validated and approved supplier offers in hand. This positions our supplier partners in a pole position to secure the orders, while providing the client with a reliable procurement foundation for execution.

Value Highlight:

This approach accelerated the sourcing process, reduced technical risks, and positioned both client and suppliers for a smoother EPC phase.

Case Study 5:

Media Supply for Odor-Control Biofilter (Southeast Asia)

North American Manufacturer of Biofilter Media

Challenge:

A Municipal wastewater treatment facility in Singapore required a large expansion of its odor-control biofilter system, involving a substantial volume of media. The project had already experienced delays, and the scope changed midway, creating an unclear situation. The challenge for the manufacturer was to respond quickly with a reliable proposal, while managing complex logistics and containerized shipments across continents.

Lead to Deal identified and validated the opportunity, then introduced the client to the biofilter media manufacturer. We supported the process by:

  • Clarifying Requirements: Confirming the final volume and performance specifications

  • Structuring Supply: Assisting in discussions on delivery timelines and containerized shipping

 

  • Maintaining Dialogue: Keeping communication clear between all parts to avoid delays during contract alignment.

 

 

Results:

The manufacturer secured the supply contract for the biofilter media, reinforcing its presence in the Asian market. With our facilitation, the deal was executed under a clear structure of volume, logistics, and responsibilities, ensuring the client received the required material without further disruption.
