GAF Opens New Doors in Seattle

When Alpha Cine owner Don Jensen purchased the business in 2006, he recognized the critical need for a new state-of-the-art space that would suit Alpha Cine's unique needs but lacked the means to make it happen. A profile of Alpha Cine in the Seattle Times-Intelligencer brought the company's plight to the attention of the City of Seattle. With business retention as a priority, the City called in long-standing development assistance partner NDC to help structure a financing package to meet Alpha Cine's needs.

More recently, the Cleveland-area manufacturer of industrial “fasteners” has added a new industry to its customer base: the green energy industry, specifically manufacturers of power-generating windmills.
