Gibraltar Business Capital (GBC) has closed a $15MM senior secured facility for Sampa USA LLC (Sampa), a leading distributor of heavy-duty commercial parts for trucks, trailers, and buses. The new facility supports Sampa’s operations in the United States by refinancing existing debt, providing them more liquidity and strengthening the company’s capital position for continued growth.
Established in 2018 and headquartered in Frisco, Texas, Sampa USA LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sampa Otomotiv Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., based in Turkey. The company distributes a full range of OEM and aftermarket heavy-duty commercial vehicle parts to manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors, serving customers in the commercial transportation and logistics sectors.
After several years of steady growth and a recent expansion into additional distribution centers across the U.S., Sampa recognized the need for a more flexible capital structure to support its scaling operations. The company sought a lending partner who could provide greater borrowing capacity against inventory and receivables, and strengthen its working capital position. GBC offered the structure and partnership Sampa needed, providing a revolving credit facility suited to continued growth and profitability.
“We needed a financing partner willing to listen and think creatively about how best to help fund our next phase,” said Mehmet Ali Benian, Regional Finance Director at Sampa USA LLC. “Gibraltar Business Capital approached every conversation with thoughtfulness and insight, structuring a solution that reflects a true understanding of our business and allows us to focus on better serving our customers.”
Building on its reputation for deliberate, partnership-driven lending, GBC delivered a customized facility designed to give Sampa the liquidity and flexibility needed to execute on its expansion plans. The financing reflects GBC’s commitment to supporting both immediate objectives and long-term growth.
“Every partnership begins with understanding the problem we are trying to solve for,” said Scott Winicour, Chief Executive Officer at Gibraltar Business Capital. “We take the time to truly learn each client’s unique needs and challenges, then we design a bespoke capital solution. Our partnership with Sampa reflects that philosophy.”
