“This additional financing comes at a very exciting time in our company, as we continue to gain momentum and attention in the manufacturing industry,” said Geoff Reed, CEO of Creation Technologies. “We chose this time to bring on a second blue-chip financing partner because of the increases we anticipate as a result of ongoing acquisitions and organic customer growth. We are looking forward to a very busy year.”
