Murex Increases Its Revolving Line of Credit to $200 Million With Frost Bank and Four Other Banks

PLANO, TX – December 17, 2021 – Murex LLC, a low carbon fuels marketing and logistics company, has increased its credit revolver with Frost Bank and four other banks from $165 million to $200 million due to higher prices and increased volume.

Murex started doing business with Frost Bank in 2002 with a $9 million revolving line of credit when annual revenue was $130 million. The line of credit has grown to $200 million while revenue has increased to $3.5 billion. Frost Bank has added Commerce Bank, Trustmark National Bank, First Financial Bank and Synovus Bank as participating banks.

“We have enjoyed a great relationship with Frost Bank and our member banks as we have grown. We added three new biofuels plants in 2021. We saw inflation and price increases. It’s good to have flexibility and capacity for increased growth,” said Robert Wright, President and Founder.

In addition to offering logistics solutions to its customers, Murex also markets products from 12 biofuels plants domestically, and is exploring relationships with several others in the growing renewable fuels space.
