Today, we’re happy to announce $15 million in funding for one of the leading fuel distributing companies in the Caribbean. The distributor provides aviation fuel to some of the world’s largest airlines and fuel service companies including American Airlines, United Airlines, and World Fuel Operations. The new client relationship signifies Tradewind’s entry into the aviation fuel sector and the expansion of its portfolio in the Caribbean. These milestones continue to demonstrate the firm’s agility in working with new geographies and industries and also reinforce its commitment to supporting businesses around the world with flexible, reliable capital. “Our client was seeking a non-bank lender to build a long-term working capital relationship with and scale with. Tradewind was extremely quick to show interest and was prompt to visit the client to meet their management team and see their operations. This helped build confidence and trust for both parties and ultimately allowed for a fast and smooth closing process. We’re very excited to broaden our reach into the Caribbean and are pleased to work with such a powerhouse client in the aviation fuel market,” commented Brian Dowd, Senior Vice President at Tradewind’s New York office who originated the deal.
