Barings Supports Zabel’s New Platform Investment in SVI International

Barings, one of the world’s leading investment managers, served as lead agent, sole lender, and minority equity investor to provide financing support for The Zabel Companies’ (“Zabel”) purchase of SVI International (“SVI” or “the Company”). Headquartered in DeKalb, IL, SVI is the leading supplier of aftermarket repair parts and accessories for automotive lifts, wheel service and automotive shop equipment, and other specialty applications.

“Barings is very pleased to have made our first financing with The Zabel Companies and appreciates the opportunity to start a great partnership as both a debt and minority equity provider to SVI,” said Scott Chappell, Managing Director in Barings’ North American Private Credit Group. “With comprehensive product offerings and best-in-class customer service, SVI provides important resources to its customers across the automotive service equipment industry. We are confident Zabel’s significant experience with aftermarket parts companies will position the Company for accelerated growth.”

"SVI has established itself as a differentiated provider of aftermarket repair parts and accessories, with a loyal customer base and a strong commitment to culture and customer service,” said Brian Kohn, Partner at The Zabel Companies. “We appreciate the financing support, flexibility, and partnership we received from Barings throughout the acquisition process, and we look forward to their continued support as the business scales.”

This transaction expands Barings’ $32.78 billion* Global Private Finance platform, which leverages a deep bench of more than 80 investment professionals ​and a 30-year track record of providing financing solutions to sponsors while generating attractive ​risk-adjusted returns for investors.
