TCF Capital Funding provided $25.5 million in secured financing to support the acquisition of Starlite Sign by Kieffer Holding and its subsidiary Kieffer & Co., a portfolio company of Northstar Capital.

Northstar contributed additional subordinated debt and equity to complete the transaction.

Kieffer is a national sign company that provides design, manufacturing, installation and service for multi-location operators in the hospitality, drugstore, specialty retail, restaurant, healthcare and related sectors.

Starlite Sign designs, manufactures, installs and services exterior signs and other visual elements for restaurants, specialty retailers, car rental agencies and other corporate entities.

“We have enjoyed a long relationship with Northstar, and supporting the acquisition of Starlite by Kieffer further enhances this relationship,” said TCF Capital Funding Senior Vice President Ed Ryczek.
