CA-WHITE-OAK-GLOBAL
20.9.2021 15:02:09 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
White Oak Global Advisors (“White Oak”) has completed the acquisition of Finacity Corporation (“Finacity”) a global leader in working capital and trade finance funding solutions to global businesses.
Finacity originates, structures and places over USD$100 billion in trade finance receivables yearly with over 50 leading financial institutions in asset-backed security structures. Finacity has facilitated transactions for receivables denominated in 58 currencies with obligors in more than 175 countries making it the largest non-bank trade finance platform globally.
The deal will see Adrian Katz remain as Finacity CEO and substantive equity holder, working closely with the leadership of White Oak Global Advisors. With this acquisition White Oak and its affiliates will have over 215 professionals focused on asset-based lending offering trade receivables securitization and a variety of ABL products including invoice discounting, factoring, trade finance, supply chain finance, lender finance and import-export finance.
The acquisition will accelerate White Oak’s drive into the $30 trillion market for asset-based working capital solutions. Finacity will operate as a standalone business but will work closely with White Oak in a number of areas where there are synergies – including White Oak deploying institutional capital on Finacity’s platform.
White Oak is an SEC-registered investment advisor and has over $10 billion in balance sheet assets. It offers over 20 lending products including SME business lending, commercial finance, equipment leasing, structured finance and other specialty lending solutions for the benefit of borrowers.
Finacity is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut and will be rebranded as White Oak Finacity. White Oak’s interest in acquiring Finacity has been long-standing – dating from before the business’ original sale in 2018.
Andre Hakkak, CEO of White Oak Global Advisors, said:
“We are delighted to be welcoming Finacity to the White Oak family. Finacity is a market leader and there are significant synergies between their work and the work we are already doing at White Oak.
“This acquisition further demonstrates White Oak’s commitment to being a leading global player in asset-backed capital solutions which is integral to the functioning of the global economy. In particular, Finacity’s experience in making securitization of accounts receivable and consumer assets less complex and more cost-effective will provide significant advantage to our clients.
“We look forward to working closely with Adrian and the team at Finacity as we embark on this new partnership.”
Adrian Katz, CEO of Finacity Corporation, said:
“Everyone at Finacity is excited to be starting this new chapter of our story as part of White Oak. We have known the leadership at White Oak for a long time and are convinced that this move is absolutely the right one to enable Finacity to thrive.
“I am particularly excited about the new opportunities that collaboration with White Oak will open up through the combination of our market expertise and global scale.”

Graco QUANTM i230 Brings Electrification to High-Flow Fluid-Transfer Applications5.11.2026 22:16:00 CET | Press release
New electric 3-inch double-diaphragm pump helps paint, coatings and ceramics manufacturers increase throughput while reducing energy consumption by up to 80%. Graco Inc. is helping manufacturers electrify high-flow fluid-transfer applications with the global launch of the 3-inch QUANTM® i230, bringing efficient electric drive technology to demanding processes that have traditionally relied on pneumatic pumps. Paint, coatings and ceramics manufacturers depend on diaphragm pumps for their flexibility, reliability and ability to handle challenging materials. But pneumatic pumps also depend on compressed air — an energy-intensive plant resource whose available capacity can fluctuate as demand changes across a facility. The QUANTM i230 gives manufacturers another option for qualified high-flow applications. By combining familiar diaphragm pump capabilities with electric operation, the pump helps manufacturers move more material, reduce transfer bottlenecks and lower energy consumption by up
