Salem Five Bank Extends New Credit Facility to BWD Technologies
Salem, MA., July 21, 2025 – Salem Five Bank, a full-service financial services organization with over $8B in assets, today announced that it has provided a credit facility to BWD Technologies (Blanking Without Dies), representing the first asset-based lending (ABL) initiative from its new Business Credit team. The $15 million financial package is designed to support the company’s expansion in the automotive industry.
The agreement features a $10 million term loan for BWD to finance a second laser equipment line from Germany and scale production. Additionally, a $5 million revolving line of credit—designed to grow alongside revenue—will support future expansion.
This builds on an existing relationship between Salem Five and one of BWD’s owners and marks a milestone for the asset-based lending group led by SVP Keith Broyles.
“When seeking a trusted banking partner, we immediately thought of Salem Five,” said Timothy Marasco, President of BWD Technologies. “We needed a partner that could move fast, meet deadlines and be responsive. Salem Five did just that—from first meeting to close in just over a month. This financing is key to keeping ahead of the competition and increasing production.”
“This new partnership with BWD is a great example of how Salem Five Business Credit takes the time to understand client goals and deliver tailored financing solutions,” said Keith Broyles, SVP, Business Credit. “We’re excited to support BWD’s continued growth.”
