Comerica Provides Soundcore's Sweeping Corp. With $60,000,000 Credit Facility

Comerica and Soundcore
NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 2018 –
Soundcore Capital Partners' portfolio company, Sweeping Corporation of America, Inc. ("SCA" or "Sweeping Corp."), announced that it has entered into a $60,000,000 credit facility with Comerica Incorporated ("Comerica"). Comerica served as the sole lead arranger and administrative agent for the facility which will support upcoming add-on acquisitions and growth initiatives of the business.

Headquartered in Cleveland, OH, SCA is the largest self-performing power sweeping company in the United States. SCA's customer-focused employees service municipalities, departments of transportation, road and paving contractors, retail and commercial parking lots, and industrial complexes. Today, SCA utilizes more than 350 state-of-the art street & parking lot sweepers, jet-vac sweepers, and other support equipment through its 21 locations.

"Securing this credit facility is an important milestone for SCA, allowing us to continue our growth in key markets, both acquisitively and organically," said John Landefeld, Chief Financial Officer of SCA. "We are looking forward to working with the team at Comerica."

In January of this year, For Construction Pros' Allan Heydorn wrote an article that details the progress that Soundcore's Sweeping Corporation of America is making toward developing a national sweeping company. This began about a year ago when Soundcore Capital Partners purchased Nashville, TN-based Sweeping Corporation of America (SCA) as the platform on which to build the company. Following the purchase of its first privately held company, the new company began operating under the SCA umbrella, with headquarters in Cleveland, OH. If you'd like to know more, here is a link to that article.
