Growth capital to support mission-critical aerospace manufacturer

Westport, CT – August 24, 2022 —Great Rock Capital, an asset-focused commercial finance company specializing in middle market lending, today announced the closing of a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with NWI Nashville, LLC (“NWI”), a manufacturer and designer of airplane wings, wing components, and other structural parts and assemblies for the aerospace industry.  NWI’s Nashville site has been a provider of wing components to its current major OEM customers for over 30 years and is a portfolio company of The Stony Point Group.

“The NWI management team has built a best-in-class platform as a mission-critical supplier for the aerospace industry,” said Stuart Armstrong, CEO of Great Rock Capital. “Their innovative business expertise, reputation for excellence, and emphasis on customer relationships will continue to propel the growth of this business, and we look forward to being a part of their ongoing success.”

“Great Rock quickly understood the growth potential of NWI and customized a structure that will allow the company to capitalize on new business opportunities,” commented Bernie Stanek, CEO at Stony Point Group. “We look forward to working with both teams as NWI navigates the next stage of business growth.”
