BizCap®, a US commercial finance and advisory firm, has arranged a US$15 million asset-based revolving credit facility for Gehr Industries, a privately held industrial distributor and custom fabricator with more than six decades of experience serving contractor, distributor, retail and infrastructure markets across North America.

Gehr Industries operates through multiple divisions, including two long-standing legacy brands and an engineered power unit. The new financing will be used to build inventory and support the company’s expansion initiatives and ongoing working capital needs.

David Lifschitz, CEO and president of Gehr Industries, said BizCap’s guidance was instrumental in executing the transaction. “From the outset, BizCap demonstrated exceptional professionalism and composure,” he said. “Their deep market expertise and strong lender relationships proved invaluable in navigating the complexity of this transaction. Tim Gaines and the BizCap team’s calm, solutions-focused approach ensured seamless communication across all parties and a smooth, successful closing.”

CFO Max Paetzold noted that BizCap helped create a competitive lender process despite challenging market conditions. “Tim and the BizCap team created a truly competitive process, securing multiple attractive financing options,” he said. “They guided us through every stage with clarity and objectivity, resulting in a structure that positions Gehr Industries for continued growth and long-term success.”

Tim Gaines, vice president at BizCap, said Gehr Industries represents the type of established, forward-looking business the firm aims to support.

“Gehr Industries exemplifies a company with deep roots, strong leadership and a clear vision for the future,” Gaines said. “We’re proud to have delivered a financing solution that reinforces their growth trajectory and operational strength. This partnership reflects how strategic capital and collaboration can empower companies to build on their legacy and accelerate momentum.”
