Barings Supports Francisco Partners’ Refinancing of Thinventory

Barings, one of the world's leading alternative investment managers, today announced its role as lead lender of secured credit facilities supporting Francisco Partners’ refinancing of Thinventory, a leading provider of field inventory management solutions.

Headquartered in the UK, Thinventory uses software platforms and a technology-enabled physical locker network to enable customers to operate with less inventory in the field, as well as reducing their logistics costs. Thinventory provides either the technology, or a managed service to enable customers with large field services organisations to benefit from rapid response in-night delivery of mission critical, high-value spare parts. In addition, customers benefit from visibility across their field inventory with the ability to optimise levels with this data.

Commenting on the deal, Gregoire Taillet, Senior Director, Barings Global Private Finance Group said: “We are pleased to partner with Francisco Partners, alongside existing minority shareholder LDC, and the management team to support the refinancing of Thinventory. This investment highlights Barings’ position as a trusted financing partner to high-quality businesses in the European mid-market.”
