Post Road Equipment Finance (“PREF”) announced the successful closing of a $20 million lease facility with a global, sponsor-backed manufacturer of precision  engineered metal components serving a diverse range of end markets, including automotive, enterprise technology, healthcare and aerospace and defense.

The transaction unlocked substantial liquidity from the client’s existing fixed assets, providing capital to support a compelling acquisition opportunity while preserving financial flexibility for ongoing corporate initiatives. Post Road executed the onboarding and closing process under an accelerated timeline, ensuring funding was delivered ahead of the acquisition close and providing a meaningful source of funds for the transaction.

Post Road’s speed and certainty of execution established a strong partnership with the client, which subsequently expanded the relationship with a request for an additional $10 million increase to its capital lease facility. The incremental financing will support growth-oriented capital expenditures associated with recently awarded programs within the company’s rapidly expanding aerospace and defense client base.

Chris Demtschenko, Senior Vice President at Post Road Equipment Finance, commented, “This transaction exemplifies the value of having a financing partner that can move quickly and execute with certainty when stakes are high and timing is critical. We are proud to have earned the client’s trust and look forward to supporting their capital needs in the years ahead.”

PREF was represented by Reed Smith LLP.
