Expansion and growth are the goals of any business, especially one that specializes in waste removal and recycling.
No one knows this better than Paul Kuhar, VP of Champion Waste and Recycling Services.
Based in Dallas, TX, Champion has four facilities: a commercial recycling facility, a C&D recycling facility, a wood processing facility,and a soon-to-be-opened organic recycling facility. Each of them is unique and comes with its challenges.
Paul sees what the future holds, “Green business is a big buzzword, you hear people talk about it a lot, but it really is the right thing to do.”
As a family-owned and operated business, Paul knows there is only so much they can do, and to grow, they need the right partner.
“You really need a true partner, and that’s what we found in Comerica. They saw our plans, what we wanted to do to expand; they really understood. And that was the biggest value for us, they understood the industry.” For Paul, it was clear, “It’s not so much we’re lending you money and we’re paying you back. It’s like, we understand what you do, we understand your challenges.”
That personal touch is what makes Comerica stand out. “Our local guy, he has meetings with us at our place, he’s involved in our meetings when we’re going over our P&L and we’re forecasting stuff.”
Paul maintains, “You can’t put a price on that…you know they are invested in you, just like we are invested in them. That’s enabled us to go to that next level.”
As the Leading Bank for Business*, Comerica Bank is committed to providing customized financing solutions for small businesses and family-owned companies. We accelerate growth for our partners.
