Bibby Financial Services Canada announced a $2.5 million asset-based loan provided to a manufacturer of office security containers.

The company has provided products since its inception in 2003 and has four warehouses, distribution and pickup centers throughout North America.

Part-owned by a private equity firm looking to increase its dividend payments to fund other acquisitions, the company came to Bibby Financial Services because it could no longer meet the debt-to-equity ratios required by traditional lending institutions.
