Investment opportunity

High-yielding investment in energy sector, financing of further technical improvements, purchase of spare parts, and maintenance cycle for wind turbine farm in Poland.
20,55% planned annual return.
Investment principal buyback is available at 5% penalty fee.

Project description

FLC POLAND SP ZOO is a Polish company that is engaged into several business projects in Eastern and Central Europe in industries like alternative energy, trade of agricultural products, logistics operations, etc. The company is operating since the year 2013.

In the years 2015-2016 FLC POLAND SP ZOO participated in construction of a farm of wind turbines in Poland, Krakow region.

The project with total budget of EUR 28 million (net, rounded) assumed purchase of 12 Enercon E-92/78m wind turbines (//www.enercon.de/en/products/ep-2/e-92/) with combined power capacity of 28,200 kW as well as number of additional installations and services such as:

Transformers with switchgears.
Protection from lightning strikes.
Control and power devices.
ENERCON SCADA Remote – the primary system of telemonitoring.
Transportation, mobilization and operation of the crane.
Flat concrete foundation.
Installation.
Launch into operation.
100 hours of testing.
General insurance before use.
Connecting cables with the transformers in turbine towers.
Two years warranty.
Set of technical drawings of foundations, technical instructions.

The park of wind turbines was launched into operation in 2016, so now FLC POLAND SP ZOO is looking to attract financing with an aim of making additional technical improvements to the installation in order to raise its overall efficiency, purchasing spare parts for the turbines, and conducting necessary maintenance works for the next period of operation.

Market

With an average of 12.6 GW per year, volumes of new deployment of wind energy capacity look set to remain fairly strong through to 2020, according to WindEurope’s Central Scenario. We expect 2017 to mark a new record high in annual installations. We expect 50 GW to be installed in the 4 years of 2017-2020. We expect this would bring the EU to an accumulative installed capacity of 204 GW. We expect this 50 GW additional capacity to represent over half of all new renewable capacity in the EU over the 4-year period, well above solar PV, bioenergy and hydro power.

With over 200 GW of installed capacity, wind energy could meet 16.5% of Europe’s electricity needs by 2020, surpassing hydro power and becoming the largest source of renewable electricity. We expect Denmark to meet over half of its demand with wind energy and Germany almost 30%. Ireland, Portugal, Spain and the UK will follow with respectively 29, 27, 24 and 21%.

New installations will remain relatively strong until the end of 2020, but policy uncertainty and lack of ambition for the post-2020 climate and energy framework could have a significant negative impact on the sector. Only a handful of Member States have provided visibility and regulatory certainty. With only 5 countries among the EU28 announcing auctions plans, there is a lack of certainty on revenue stability for investors.

By introducing the new Investment Project Owner “SRR” JSC with project “Renewal of freight containers – Tier 9″, Envestio expands the variety of industries available to invest in. “SRR” JSC has a long and successful experience of conducting logistics operations.

If you invest for the first time at Envestio don’t forget that you can get € 5 and a 0.5% cashback bonus for the investments made in the first nine months (270 days), more details HERE.

Investment opportunity

High-yielding investment in logistics industry, financing of technical inspection and repair/renewal works for freight containers.
Secured debt, 21% planned annual return.
Investment principal buyback is available at 5% penalty rate.

Project description

The JSC SRR was established in Riga, Latvia in the year 2007. JSC SRR is a member of FIATA, LAFF, LTBA, CCTP, holds ISO 9001:2008 certificate, and employs 64 people.

Company’s key assets include 950 x 20’ and 450 х 40’ containers as well as 825 railroad platforms.

The main fields of company’s activity are:

Multimodal transportation and integrated railway solutions for metallurgical companies and industrial manufacturers
Handling of container trains
Optimizing use of rolling stock and providing own containers
Warehousing of various types of cargo
Regular feeder container line Rotterdam-Riga-Ust-Luga-St. Petersburg-Rotterdam

The company is looking to conduct a round of technical inspection and repair/renewal works for all its containers, used for freight operations. The total cost of the project is estimated to be EUR 650,000. Envestio participants will have a chance to finance this project in several tranches of moderate size, according to the number of containers submitted for inspection and further proceedings in a single batch.

Market

Consolidated figures show that during the year 2017 the global market for transportation of goods using freight containers increased by more than 6% in relation to 2016. Last time so high market growth rates were observed more than 6 years ago – in the year 2011. Overall demand for China-Europe-America freight routes in 2017 increased rapidly due to China’s GDP 6,9% growth that was almost 0,5% higher than anticipated growth of 6,5%. At the same time, also the freight rates in 2017 swiftly recovered from downfall, experienced in 2016.

Further development of the global market is largely dependent on the extent at which current expansion plans of the biggest container lines are realized as well as on the development dynamics of the international trade. Bearing in mind increasing ambiguity on the global markets, caused by geopolitical shifts combined with high growth rates the key factor for success is the ability to manage both own and freighted assets in the most efficient and flexible way.

From the regional perspective the biggest increase in volumes was achieved in the North America (+12,6%), followed by Latin America (+11,1%), China (+10,3%), and Europe (+4,4%).

Investment opportunity

High-yielding investment in woodworking sector, factoring-type financing for a sawn timber production/wood pellets trading company.
Secured debt, 20,5% planned annual return.
Investment principal buyback is available at 5% penalty rate.

Project description

The company NDINAMIKA SIA is a Latvian company that is successfully acting on the market of production and sale of sawn timber to local and international customers. Established in the year 2013, NDINAMIKA SIA is a well-known and experienced player on the Latvian woodworking market. Besides production of sawn timber, the company is also engaged into sale and delivery of wood pellets/biomass fuel to Latvian households, small agricultural complexes, and other consumers.

Sawn timber is being produced from the raw round timber, purchased directly from the owner of the forest sites. NDINAMIKA SIA has concluded long-term agreements with a number of companies and private individuals that ensures operational flexibility.

A standard production cycle includes:

Inspection of the site, marking the trees
Cutting down the trees in agreed volume using company’s equipment and vehicles
Transportation of the raw round wood to the company’s warehouse, preparation for further processing
Production of sawn wood using specialized tools and equipment
Post-production treatment, packing, sale

The funds, attracted with the help of Envestio will be used for the purchase of raw round timber, financing the production process, and covering the time gap before the final payment is received from the customers.

Market

In the first half of 2018 the overall situation in the sphere of supply of round timber has continued to improve. At the same time, assortment prices remain high, thus indicating insufficient supply of wood for further processing. As the “Forest and Wood Products Research and Development Institute” notes, the rapid increase in the prices of round wood in ports has reduced the availability of technological wood in the regions of Latvia.

Roundwood prices have risen noticeably not only in Latvia, but also in the Baltic neighbour states and Sweden. It should be noted that the increase in prices for pulpwood and saw logs in Sweden has not been as rapid as, for example, in Latvia.

The limiting supply of round timber and the high demand for wood due to climatic conditions, as a result of the increase in the prices of round timber, has affected the export performance of the industry.

In the 5 months of 2018 the amount of wood products exported from Latvia exceeded the indicator of the previous year by 21%. The value of exports of slab and plywood exceeded last year volumes by 4%, the export sales of sawn timber products remained at the same level, the volume of exported granules decreased by 14%. The export value of round timber climbed by 90%, firewood and chips – increased by 12%.

Investment opportunity

High-yielding investment in timber processing sector, factoring-type financing for a sawn timber and wooden pallets manufacturing company.
Secured debt, 20,67% planned annual return.
Investment principal buyback is available at 5% penalty rate.

Project description

The company PALLET TIMBER COMPANY SIA is a Latvian venture that is successfully working on the market of producing sawn dimensional timber products and different types of wooden pallets since 2012. The company operates modern production facilities in Riga, Latvia, which allows it to optimize raw products purchasing and logistics costs. Latvia is one of the richest countries in Europe in terms of forest – approximately one half of its territory is covered with woods. A vast variety and wide availability of different types of local raw timber makes woodworking industry one of the country’s most advanced and well-known at different export markets. PALLET TIMBER COMPANY SIA uses trademark “Made in Latvia” as an additional competitive advantage for its produce.

Flexibility is another key asset of PALLET TIMBER COMPANY SIA. Dimensional timber it produces has vast amount of different sizes, making it suitable for a wide variety of purposes of use in different markets with diverse standards.

The same refers to the wooden pallets, produced by PALLET TIMBER COMPANY SIA. Depending on specification of cargos and type of transportation and storage, the company offers pallets of different construction, durability, and area. For the production of separate order of pallets, it is also possible to use clients’ drawings and other requirements. The range of materials, which are used in the production process of the pallets include planks, beams, plywood, OSB, pressed cubes, as well as other materials. Examples of company’s produce can be seen in the pictures below.

PALLET TIMBER COMPANY SIA is looking to attract factoring-type financing enabling it to accomplish additional purchases of raw timber and increase sales, mainly to the export markets. The PALLET TIMBER COMPANY SIA currently is actively expanding to new markets (such as Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Scandinavian countries) but additional funds will also be used in order to increase exports to current clients. The main export markets for the company’s produce include Germany (up to 48% of the company’s produce), Poland (16%) Belgium (8%), the Netherlands (7%), and other countries (21%). Advantageous geographical location allows fast delivery of company’s produces both across the Europe and also to the Eastern direction by land or sea.

Market

Wood is the most preferred material for pallets across the globe, as it offers huge advantages in terms of response time and low startup cost for customized designs. Wooden pallets sometimes end up with sharp splinters causing injuries or protruding nails that damage food packaging. But due to the low costs, wood pallets will continue to dominate product sales in most areas across the globe. However, wood pallets these days are largely being replaced with plastic pallets. As food safety compliance and reusability is a growing attraction among manufacturers, they are looking for sustainable material handling options and thus, plastic pallets will continue to gain acceptance in a range of industries including foods & beverage, pharmaceuticals, groceries and automotive.

With a huge incremental opportunity, the global pallets market is projected to grow at more than 5% CAGR during the period of assessment.

During the period 2012 – 2016, the global pallets market expanded at a CAGR of 4.7%. However, during the forecast period – that is between 2017 and 2025 – the market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% owing to increasing demand for better and safe transportation coupled with the rise in demand for pallets from various industries like food, agriculture, chemicals etc. The global pallets market is projected to represent incremental opportunity of more than US$ 25 Bn between 2017 and 2025.
