WhiteHawk Capital Partners, a private credit investment manager focused on asset-based financing solutions, has entered into an agreement with West Side Transport to provide a $111 million senior secured first lien credit facility. Proceeds from the facility were used to support EVO Transportation & Energy’s acquisition of West Side and provide additional working capital.
“We are excited about partnering with EVO and believe that our complementary strengths will help both companies grow and prosper,” Ron Joseph, president of West Side Transport, said.
“EVO is thrilled to partner with WhiteHawk on this transaction,” Michael Bayles, CEO of EVO Transportation, said. “Thanks to the support of Brad and his team, we are proud to add the West Side brand to the EVO family. We are excited about the future of our combined company and look forward to working with the WhiteHawk team as we look to accelerate growth and take advantage of market opportunities.”
“We are thrilled to begin our partnership with West Side,” Brad Huge, managing director at WhiteHawk, said. “We believe the blend of their well-established customer base in the Midwest, a sizable fleet of tractors and trailers and a highly skilled team positions them for continued growth.”
