Investment Opportunity & CapX Solution

CapX recognized Gehl’s long-standing reputation for quality, safety, and performance in the dairy product manufacturing industry. With robust growth opportunities on the horizon and the need for increased production capacity, CapX provided the Company with a customized lease line of credit. This equipment lease facility will fund new automated cartoning and bottling production lines and will fulfill the Company’s need for increased manufacturing capacity.

“CapX is pleased to work with Wind Point Partners on our third growth capital financing together. After gathering details on Gehl’s 2017 capex budget, CapX realized the value it could add by providing a flexible and customized financing solution. CapX looks forward to supporting Gehl’s growth needs and is a proud financing partner to Gehl’s soon to be upgraded manufacturing and distribution process.” Jeffry S.
