Abacus Finance Group served as administrative agent and sole lender for senior secured credit facilities to support the acquisition of Kason by Advanced Material Processing, a newly-formed May River Capital portfolio company.

“The transaction was handled smoothly and rapidly from the outset,” said May River Capital Founder Chip Grace. “We were impressed that the Abacus team knew both the material processing sector and the company. They were responsive, efficient, easy to work, and delivered on time as promised.”

May River Capital is a Chicago-based private equity firm focused on investing in lower middle market industrial growth companies. Both businesses are wholly owned by AMP.
