When customers choose a partner for technical projects, they initially look at skills and experience, but in projects that span months and years, there is another factor that is at least as important. That is economic stability.

For more than seven years, Homatic has achieved the highest credit rating, AAA. The assessment is made on the basis of an independent analysis of the financial statements and solidity, but also the company’s ability to pay and historical stability. It is not a very large percentage of Danish companies that achieve the highest rating that Homatic has.

For CEO, Thorvald Horup, AAA is not just about a logo on the website, but about responsible operation of the company.

“For us, it is an expression of the fact that we run Homatic with care and a long time horizon. Our customers must be able to count on us today, but also in three and five years. The financial robustness is part of the foundation on which we build our collaborations,” he says.

An AAA rating documents a sound financial structure in the company and that there is a minimal risk of payment problems. In practice, this means that Homatic has solid equity and stable earnings in daily operations, and thus also an ability to withstand fluctuations in the market.

Creditworthiness is not just about numbers

In the technical industries, such as engineering, automation and defence, stability is not just a small detail. In practice, stability means that the projects that our consultants work on are very complex, demanding and involve significant investments on the part of the clients. Therefore, it provides security for customers that their partners also have a proven financial strength.

“When we are involved in long-term projects, it is crucial that our customers experience peace of mind about the deliveries that our consultants deliver. They don’t have to worry about stability, they have to be able to focus on their own business,” says Thorvald Horup.

Creditworthiness is not only about numbers, but also about the ability to honour agreements, both with customers and consultants, but at the same time invest in competencies and maintain the quality that customers expect, even when the world changes.
