HSBC in calcium deals

HSBC Commercial Finance has completed a deal with Longcliffe, a UK
calcium carbonate producer, for the acquisition and financing of a
new Atritor plant asset. Longcliffe, which has two quarries, one
for the production of dolomite in Derbyshire, requires the new
plant to increase production of its specialised fine powders. The
company waited 18 months whilst the asset was built and
installation was completed in April 2008.
