Oak Hill Advisors (“OHA”) served as Administrative Agent and Lead Left Arranger for the private unitranche facility supporting FloWorks, a portfolio company of Wynnchurch Capital, L.P. FloWorks is a leading specialty distributor of critical flow control products and provider of tailored technical solutions for MRO-focused applications. OHA is the largest holder across the new financing facility, which will be used to refinance the company’s existing debt and support future acquisitions.
OHA’s existing knowledge of the flow control distributor industry through its investments across other companies in the ecosystem positioned it to quickly provide constructive feedback and play a leadership role in this refinancing solution.
“Our familiarity with the specialty distribution industry through our investments in similar companies allowed us to quickly gain conviction in FloWorks and its business model,” said Eric Muller, Partner and Portfolio Manager at OHA. “The track record the company has built through its customized platform has proven its ability to gain significant market share while continuing to scale, and we look forward to contributing to FloWorks’ next stages of growth.”
BMO Capital Markets also participated in this financing as OHA’s private credit joint venture partner.
