Liquin, a chemical and biofuel tank storage and logistics provider, has successfully refinanced its debt facilities, establishing a diversified and scalable funding structure designed to support its long-term growth ambitions.
The refinancing combines commitments from a range of US Private Placement (USPP) lenders and commercial banks, providing the company with a long-dated maturity profile and increased financial flexibility. The transaction reflects continued institutional confidence in Liquin’s business strategy and future growth prospects.
The new funding structure is expected to support Liquin’s strategic objective of strengthening its position as a preferred partner for customers and employees while enabling continued investment across its operations. Since becoming an independent business following its carve-out from Vopak in 2023 under the ownership of Infracapital, Liquin has completed its transition to a standalone company while progressing a number of expansion projects.
Recent investments have included infrastructure to support the storage of biofuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), as well as the expansion of rail capacity across its terminal network. The refinancing is intended to provide the financial capacity to continue pursuing similar growth opportunities.
Liquin was the first investment made by Infracapital Partners IV, a fund focused on essential mid-market infrastructure assets across Europe. Since then, the fund has expanded its portfolio through investments in companies operating in aviation services, public transport, offshore wind support vessels and utility metering, reflecting its strategy of investing in critical infrastructure sectors.
According to Herman Deetman, managing director at Infracapital, the refinancing represents an important milestone for Liquin and demonstrates the confidence institutional lenders have in the business. He said the new financing platform will support the company’s long-term, sustainable growth strategy.
Liquin Chief Executive Officer Janhein van den Eijnden described the refinancing as a major milestone that strengthens the company’s long-term strategic position. He said the stable funding structure will enable Liquin to invest in future growth, expand its operations and continue delivering value to customers.
Liquin was advised on the transaction by DC Advisory and Latham & Watkins, while the lending group was advised by Hogan Lovells and Cadwalader.
