FEBRUARY 23, 2026 [NORWALK, CT] – North Mill Equipment Finance LLC (“NMEF”), a leading independent commercial equipment lender, today announced the successful closing of NMEF Funding 2026-A, a $440 million asset-backed securitization.

We are particularly encouraged by the number of new institutional investors who joined this issuance.”

Mitch Tobak, VP Corporate Development, added, “NMEF is grateful for the continued trust of investors and committed execution by our banking partners. With our strong liquidity position, we are focused on serving our origination partners and bringing high quality paper to the ABS capital markets.”
