Solegear Bioplastics Secures Venture Debt Facility From Comerica Bank
Key Milestone Further Advances Growth Trajectory
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/30/14 -- , a leading developer of high-performance plant-based plastics for packaging and durable product applications, recently closed a venture debt facility with Comerica Bank, the largest tech-focused bank in the United States.
"The closing of our first commercial debt facility is a key milestone that supports our accelerating growth," said Toby Reid, Founder & CEO of Solegear. "Debt financing is a strategic complement to equity funding, and we are pleased to be working with a high quality lender in Comerica."
The funds secured under this agreement are expected to support planned sales growth and deliveries of the Company''s proprietary bio-based and compostable plastics. The growth capital provided by Comerica also allows for the flexibility of additional debt financing in the future, as Solegear''s working capital needs expand.
"We are pleased to play such an important role in Solegear''s growth strategy," said Robert Rosen, Comerica''s Technology & Life Sciences managing director. "The company''s profile and needs align perfectly with Comerica''s Technology & Life Sciences specialty practice".
Earlier this summer, Solegear established its first non-commercial debt facility as it was selected to receive $1.6 million in innovation funding from the Government of Canada. These funds were awarded to support the Company''s product development and technology commercialization activities, now in the process of scaling up.
