FGI Provides Milestone Partners a $13MM Revolver and Term Loan for their Portfolio Company

View Success Story

“We had worked with FGI previously on another refinance within our portfolio and knew once again FGI would be able to deliver a flexible and creative working capital solution to support our investment in Martex Fiber. We found ourselves at an inflection point in the business and our incumbent lender was not able to take us to the next phase of our growth plan as part of a long-term transformation of the business. FGI took great care to learn the nuances of our global operations and provided not only a revolver and term loan to support the working capital needs but a capex line to allow us to take the final steps in a long term, strategic new product line which was essential for Martex’s future success.”

FGI Provides $25MM Facility to Support Atar’s Acquisition of a Panasonic Carve-out

View Success Story

“I am thoroughly impressed with the speed and delivery everyone at FGI operates at. Not only was our deal complicated by the simultaneous acquisition of three separate trading companies with multiple asset classes, but even more so by the nuances of doing business internationally. We needed financing from a group with a proven track record of operating in Mexico, which is where FGI came in. FGI was able to structure the deal efficiently and professionally, especially operating within our accelerated timeline of less than 4 weeks. We are incredibly impressed with FGI’s exhibition of flexibility and cultural consideration. I can assure you we will be closing more deals together in short order. Thanks again!”

Founder and Managing Partner, Atar Capital
