Clarus Capital successfully closed a $20 million capital lease facility for a producer of specialty chemicals and downstream resin and coating products. Proceeds from Clarus’ investment will accommodate the build-out and acquisition of complex production assets to further enhance the chemical manufacturers’ range of capabilities within its footprint.

Steve O’Leary, CEO of Clarus Capital, commented, “This marks the second transaction with this sponsor as Clarus continues to support the differing needs of its sponsor partners’ portfolio companies. Clarus’ ability to create custom equipment finance solutions is further highlighted by the unique progress payment structure curated for the construction of these assets.”

Jake Skivington, Managing Director - Sponsor Coverage at Clarus Capital, added, “We value the opportunity to demonstrate the various capabilities of the equipment finance product and build on our existing relationships as a trusted partner for private equity firms. This investment in mission critical assets serves to generate meaningful operational improvements, enhancing plant and production capacity across the platform.”
