Our flexible solutions will help them fulfill their liquidity needs so they can continue to thrive," René Pastor, President of Global Commercial and CEO of the Americas at Tradewind, said about the new financing relationship.

"For a growing business, healthy cash flow is essential. Partnering with Tradewind has equipped us with an efficient source of capital to keep strengthening our company and remain a reliable silicon provider for our customers," the CFO of the silicon innovator said.

The injection of liquidity from Tradewind will assist the company in further propelling the global silicon metal industry, slated to reach USD 10.27 billion by 2029, on a sustainable path for the future.
