Wheeler Financial Provides Funding to Ghilotti Bros to Support Growth



Wheeler Financial from Pitney Bowes has closed a financing transaction with Ghilotti Bros to help the company grow its business.

GBI is a 105-year-old construction firm in Northern California on its fourth generation of ownership. It employs more than 275 people and generates annual revenues in excess of $100 million. The firm secured funding from Wheeler Financial to invest in GPS tracking technology to gain an advantage in its highly competitive market.

GBI is a family-run business with community-focused values at its heart, operating for more than a century. The firm has delivered outstanding, high-profile construction and infrastructure projects across the Bay Area counties, including utilities, bridges, marinas, roads, runways and railways.

In order to maximize opportunities during California’s dry season, GBI needed an asset critical to compete and win bids during this brief seasonal window. Understanding the impact of this financing and its potential to drive growth for GBI, Wheeler Financial accelerated the process, promptly providing the company with the funding it needed. As a result, GBI was able to invest in a state-of-the-art GPS Tracking Station, essential technology for accuracy in construction and crucial for the firm to secure new contracts and generate growth.

“GBI is a thriving business, but it must respond quickly to favorable market conditions to stay competitive. Having the right assets in place at the right time is a critical success factor,” said Christopher Johnson, senior vice president and president, Pitney Bowes Financial Services. “The more ‘traditional’ sources of capital to finance these assets can be prohibitive, protracted and complex. Wheeler Financial, with its depth of experience and access to capital, has helped GBI take its next steps forward, quickly and effectively with the added peace of mind that comes from working with a partner built to meet the specific needs of the small and medium sized business market.”

Wheeler Financial is a subsidiary of The Pitney Bowes Bank which is dedicated to helping small to lower middle market clients acquire the critical assets they need to grow and expand their business with innovative financing solutions.

Pitney Bowes is a global technology company which provides commerce solutions that power billions of transactions.
