Project scope and objective
Trinidad Tissues Limited (“TTL” or the “Company”) is one of the leading paper manufacturers in the English-speaking Caribbean, with well-recognized brands and a distribution network spanning Trinidad & Tobago, CARICOM, the Dutch Antilles, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and other regional markets.
TTL is seeking financing of up to US$30 million, structured as follows: (i) a committed tranche of up to US$20 million to support its 2026–2027 capital expenditure program, refinance existing debt, and cover working capital needs; and (ii) an uncommitted tranche of up to US$10 million to finance additional capital expenditures, including the construction of a distribution center, as well as working capital requirements (together, the “Project”).
The Project’s main objectives include (i) operational efficiency and competitiveness: capital investments will enable TTL to maintain high standards of safety and efficiency, expand production capacity, achieve economies of scale, and strengthen its position in the Caribbean market with higher-value products; (ii) promote regional Integration: By increasing production, TTL will expand the availability of high-value-added products across the Caribbean; (iii) support industrial development in Trinidad and Tobago: The Project aligns with the country’s industrial diversification agenda by fostering private-sector investment in manufacturing and creating demonstration effects for other companies in the sector; and (iv) advance sustainability: The Project will strengthen TTL’s environmental and social standards and reinforce the company’s long-term sustainability strategy.
