The deal, led by Springboard Corporate Finance, will support the firm's continued expansion over the coming years.
Dunlop Systems and Components, whose roots date back to 1890 as part of the renowned Dunlop brand, was formed in 2007 following a management buy-out of the Coventry-based suspension division from the previous owners Trelleborg.
Under the stewardship of its managing director Chris Davis, the business has invested heavily in its infrastructure and capabilities by moving into a purpose-built facility at Prologis Park in 2014.
Mr Davis said: "We are now firmly positioned as an air suspension systems integrator with original equipment manufacturer capabilities.
"This refinancing will enable the company to capitalise on this investment and deliver substantial growth in our 海角视频 and export markets."
