Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater solutions, has secured a $50 million corporate credit facility from HSBC, bringing its total financing capacity to more than $100 million. The new agreement marks a significant milestone in the company’s financial maturity and strengthens its ability to scale sustainable water solutions worldwide.
The financing is structured as a revolving credit facility, offering flexibility and liquidity to support Gradiant’s working capital needs across the U.S. market. It will enable the company to execute projects for major North American customers efficiently and reflect strong lender confidence in Gradiant’s profitability and operational performance.
The company emphasized that all its credit facilities were obtained at single-digit interest rates, signaling a robust credit profile backed by solid financial fundamentals and support from institutional investors. The funding also positions Gradiant to pursue strategic growth opportunities, including potential mergers and acquisitions, as it continues to expand globally.
Gradiant’s direct, relationship-driven approach to financing has been a defining part of its capital strategy. By partnering directly with lenders like HSBC, the company ensures close alignment between its financial plan and long-term mission. This approach helps the company maintain a balance between innovation and fiscal discipline while cultivating lasting relationships with its financial partners.
Operating in over 90 countries, Gradiant will use the new capital to drive expansion in key international markets. While the HSBC facility will bolster U.S. operations in the near term, other credit arrangements will provide flexibility and currency stability in regions such as the Indo-Pacific and the Middle East.
Founded at MIT and headquartered in Boston, Gradiant employs over 1,300 people worldwide and delivers advanced, proprietary water and wastewater treatment technologies to industries such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, renewable energy, and critical minerals. The company continues to position itself as a trusted partner for global industries navigating water scarcity, sustainability goals, and evolving regulatory demands.
