National Marker Company (NMC) Under New Ownership Receives Federal Stimulus Funds; Hosts RI Governor Chafee and Federal Delegation to Celebrate Keeping Jobs in RI

North Smithfield, RI (PRWEB) May 10, 2012

NMC was put on the market to be sold to the highest bidder. With a strong track record of growth and solid profits, Mr. Black was approached by the former owners and potential new owners to work on the acquisition and accept a lucrative payout, which would help close the doors within one year. Mr. Black turned down that offer and several more to push forward and find a way to gain ownership, save jobs and continue with his vision to build an organization where family values, dedication and focus on the customer are the driving factors to success.

On Monday May 7th Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee and a delegation of local Rhode Island and Federal delegates toured NMCs facility and congratulated the employees on being the first organization in the state to receive stimulus funds targeted at keeping jobs in Rhode Island.

We are fortunate to have a proactive state government and the resources of the RIEDC to help work with and be able to finance the acquisition of NMC, said Michael Black, Owner and President of NMC. Without the support of local, state and federal funding these jobs would have been lost or moved out of state. The most important assets we have are our NMC associates and the opportunity to give them a home for a long time to come.

The federal SSBCI funds are an important tool to help strengthen existing capital and economic development programs and to help support valuable Rhode Island small businesses like National Marker. I am proud that they have made a decision to keep growing in Rhode Island, said Governor Chafee.

NMC is a leading safety identification manufacturer, catering to the industrial workforce in the US. With over 76 years of experience delivering quality and innovative products to our customers, we are proud to continue to the growth and stability of the R.I. economy.

Capitol City Bank & Trust Company Gets Impressive Investment from SunTrust Bank. Atlanta Hometown Banks Build Working Relationship for Minority Community.

Posted on by

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 10, 2012

SunTrust Bank and Capitol City Bank & Trust Company are community partners. When one partner is in need, the other partner steps up to the plate.

SunTrust Banks, Inc. has made a commitment to provide up to a $ 4 million investment to Capitol City Bank & Trust Company, of which $ 1 million has already been funded. This investment is an example of one hometown bank providing assistance to another, said George Andrews, President and CEO of Capitol City.

Capitol City Bank & Trust Company has always had an aggressive approach to raising capital in order to strengthen its balance sheet. Efforts were increased in 2011 in order to satisfy federal regulatory requirements to raise its capital level and to reduce the impact made on the bank from nonperforming assets and customers who were hit with hard times. While the SunTrust commitment is the largest investment, it has not been the only infusion of capital from other banks and other resources. Wells Fargo made a $ 600,000 equity investment to Capitol City Bank in 2010 which proved to be invaluable in terms of stabilizing the bank at that critical time when Capitol City Bank was undercapitalized. Wells Fargo Bank continues to be supportive in terms of exploring an additional investment. Capitol City Bank has also received a major commitment from Fifth Third Bank. The Board of Directors of Capitol City Bancshares, Inc. and Capitol City Bank & Trust Company has provided more than $ 1 million in investments. Community leaders responding to the opportunity to make capital investments include Ali Muhammad; Michael Thurmond (Georgias former Labor Commissioner); Kenneth Chestnut, President & CEO of The IntegralGude; and Cameron Cam Newton, professional football player with the Carolina Panthers , among others.

Capitol City Bank & Trust Company was organized to serve the minority community of Atlanta and its customer base is primarily African-American. Capitol City lends to churches, small businesses and individuals who have been one of the hardest hit in the economic downturn. These facts make Capitol City one of the most attractive investments under the Community Reinvestment Act. An investment in Capitol City Bank addresses some of the regulatory requirements under this act.
