This new credit facility will help us continue to provide world-class service to our customers, and remain at the forefront of developing leading garment printing technology."

Peter Van Raalte, Co-Founder of Corinthian, said, "We're thrilled to be partnering with Backcast in supporting M&R's growth. Ed Cerny and the team at Backcast have now closed multiple financings with Corinthian portfolio companies, and we value the longstanding partnership."

Ed Cerny, Managing Partner at Backcast, added, "My partners and I have had nothing but success backing Corinthian in investments dating back to 2012, but we are particularly excited about this latest investment in M&R. M&R not only holds a dominant market position in a highly durable and growing niche industry, but it is at the forefront of technological advances within that industry. Their management team is best-in-class and we are really looking forward to working with them and Corinthian to facilitate their growth."
