Debt Financing
Class VI Partners (formerly CapitalValue Advisors (“CVA”)) is pleased to announce a successful debt financing for Eaton, CO based A-1 Organics (www.a1organics.com) with Great Western Bank. The Company’s additional capital will enable the organic processing leader to accelerate its growth, expand into new markets and continue to upgrade and maintain an industry leading equipment fleet. A-1 is one of the country’s largest recyclers and processors of organic materials (e.g. food waste, green waste, scrap wood, etc.) and is continually seen as an industry leader, including being recognized as Composter of the Year by the US Composting Council.
A-1 Business Success Story
“A-1 is an entrepreneurial success story of innovation, creative product development and hard work. Chuck and his team are doing great things, and this additional capital will help them continue to be a leader in the rapidly growing organic recycling industry. We are grateful for the opportunity to be working as a long-term advisor to A-1. It was also terrific working with the team at Great Western Bank – they moved this process along very quickly and truly understood A-1’s requirements,” said David Tolson, Managing Director for Class VI Partners.
For over 35 years, A-1 Organics has focused on services related to organic residual reduction and organic recycling in the Rocky Mountain Region. The Company’s products include high quality composts, mulches, and other recycled materials. In 2006, with the formation of the Nevada division, the Company expanded into the Las Vegas market, focused on mass volumes of food waste from retailers, institutions, manufacturers and hotel and casino operations. With four locations in Colorado and two in Nevada, A-1 is the recognized leader in the Rocky Mountain Region and Las Vegas for organic recycling, composting and food waste diversion.
“Working with the professionals at Class VI Partners and Great Western Bank was a true pleasure. It was important for us that capital not be a limitation to our continued success; now we are even better positioned to take advantage of all the market opportunities we see. We look forward to continuing our relationships with both Class VI and Great Western Bank. ” said Chuck Wilson CEO of A-1 Organics.
“We are very pleased to be a part of A-1’s financing team. Class VI’s expertise assisted us in putting a structure together that would be beneficial and successful for us all,” said Great Western Bank Senior Vice President Michael Bowlby.
