GE Capital Canada, the Canadian subsidiary of General Electric Company (GE), recently served as the administrative agent for a $66 million-worth senior secured credit facility for Van-Rob Inc. The debt financing will augment Van-Rob’s liquidity and working capital requirements to fuel further growth.

Since its inception in 1979, Van-Rob has evolved as a premier designer and manufacturer of automotive parts for leading global players in the industry such as General Motors Company (GM), Ford Motor Co. (F) and Daimler AG (DDAIF).
