Lynx Capital paves way for Oatts Trucking

It would be difficult to drive around central Indiana without traveling on pavement made from materials delivered to the site by Oatts Trucking. And when the company arrived at a key intersection about 15 years after opening, Lynx Capital Corporation stepped in with equipment financing and working capital.

Owner Nathan Oatts says, "We were making progress, but needed more money than we had. Thanks to Lynx, the company evolved from a one-man dump truck operation to a leader in the trucking industry."

Oatts is now in its fourth decade of trucking road construction materials that help us all drive more smoothly.

Lynx was HG Metals' lifeline

If you've seen the steel arch welcoming visitors to White River State Park, you've seen HG Metals' work. Likewise, get a grip on the railings at the Indianapolis International Airport Terminal. More of HG Metals' crafting.

But HG Metals was "touch and go" after the 2009 recession, says President Cynthia Gardner. Lynx Capital's working capital injection in 2010 helped HG Metals fill customer orders while the company recovered. "We almost closed and that would have put a dozen people out of work," says Gardner. "Lynx came at a crucial moment for us. Lynx was our lifeline."

HG Metals is now on more firm financial footing. Among its new works are an attention-grabbing steel staircase in Taylor University's new science complex and metal trim and balconies on suburban shopping malls and apartments.

All fabrication is completed in HG Metals' east side Indianapolis shop. Some are assembled in house while others are built on location.
