Gibraltar Business Capital (GBC) closed a $15MM senior secured facility for Sampa USA, a distributor of heavy-duty commercial parts for trucks, trailers and buses. The new facility supports Sampa’s operations in the United States by refinancing existing debt, providing more liquidity and strengthening the company’s capital position for continued growth.
After several years of steady growth and a recent expansion into additional distribution centers across the U.S., Sampa recognized the need for a more flexible capital structure to support its scaling operations. The company sought a lending partner who could provide greater borrowing capacity against inventory and receivables, and strengthen its working capital position.
“We needed a financing partner willing to listen and think creatively about how best to help fund our next phase,” Mehmet Ali Benian, regional finance director at Sampa USA, said. “Gibraltar Business Capital approached every conversation with thoughtfulness and insight, structuring a solution that reflects a true understanding of our business and allows us to focus on better serving our customers.”
GBC delivered a customized facility designed to give Sampa the liquidity and flexibility needed to execute on its expansion plans.
“Every partnership begins with understanding the problem we are trying to solve for,” Scott Winicour, CEO at GBC, said. “We take the time to truly learn each client’s unique needs and challenges, then we design a bespoke capital solution. Our partnership with Sampa reflects that philosophy.”
