Project description

DAGRE is an international company with successful experience in the sphere of recycling of technological raw materials that contain different precious metals such as silver, gold, platinum, etc. DAGRE’s production capacities provide full cycle of processing the raw materials, from initial expertise in the lab to grinding it using special automated machinery and equipment. Employed innovative technological process ensures preservation of 98% of the initial amount of precious metals, contained in the raw materials. Production complex consists of following segments:

Storage of Raw materials
Manual and mechanical disassembly workshop
Enrichment workshop
Storage of ready produce.

DAGRE is capable of processing extremely wide range of raw materials, which provides the company with additional competitive advantage on the market. Obsolete home electronics, computer hardware, written-off equipment and machinery from plants and factories, even details from old trains and military objects – all this can be utilized. Current company facilities allow recycling of more than 2000 tons of aforementioned raw materials per year, and turning them into enriched “concentrate” with high saturation of precious metals ready for further sale.

The enriched “concentrate” is purchased by special factories, which recycle it further, into pure non-ferrous metals, such as Aurubis GmbH factory in Hamburg, Germany that is currently the main buyer of DAGRE’s product. DAGRE and Aurubis GmbH have concluded a long-term cooperation contract.

DAGRE is receiving raw materials from wide variety of suppliers in the Eastern European region, which is still far behind the rest of the Europe in terms of percentage of obsolete equipment going through proper utilization process. In combination with efficient and transparent logistics processes it makes economies of scale possible.

Market

DAGRE is one of few companies in the region that has direct access to Russian market of necessary raw materials. Russian recycling market is noticeably underdeveloped in comparison with Western markets, therefore, supply of raw materials is limited only by the production capacities of processing company and money it can invest into the process. At the same time, entrance to this market is very complicated due to big amount of different formalities and strict customs procedures, which must be observed. Here DAGRE enjoys a noticeable competitive advantage, as it already has all the necessary legal and operational expertise is this sphere.

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.
16,55% 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.

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%).
