Utica announce the closing of a $9.2 million Capital Lease for a pipe and steel manufacturer serving midstream, utility and industrial customers. Secured by production machinery, mobile assets, material handling and support equipment, the lease will support the acquisition of the company’s assets through a court-supervised sale process.

The business operates a large industrial campus producing line pipe, oil country tubular goods and related products. The new owners bring long-standing relationships with pipe distributors, utilities and EPCs, and plan to restart production with a focus on line pipe.

Utica’s financing underscores its continued focus on delivering tailored equipment-finance solutions that support acquisitions and growth for middle-market industrial and energy-infrastructure businesses.
