We are proud to announce that Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego has granted our client, HiProMine, financing for the construction of a new plant for the production of animal feed materials and an Insect Reproduction Genetic Center in the amount of more than 32 million euros, with a total budget of the project exceeding 45 million euros.
Over the past few months we have had the opportunity to support our client in the process of negotiating the transaction documents. In the course of lengthy negotiations, an agreement was reached between many parties to the transaction, which ultimately led to the signing of the documents on Friday, July 28, 2023 at the National Stadium in Warsaw.
The signing was attended by (from left): Janusz Władyczak – President of KUKE; Jaroslaw Trwoga – BGK; Ewa Nowak – Iskra – BGK; Krzysztof Domarecki – shareholder of HiProMine and Selena FM; Marek Tomczuk – member of BGK’s management board; Mariusz Mikołajczak – Financial Director and member of HiProMine’s management board; Prof. Damian Józefiak – member of HiProMine’s management board.
HiProMine was established in 2015. The company focuses on innovative, proprietary technology for industrial breeding of insects and use of their biomass for production of alternative feed materials (protein, oil) and organic fertilizers on a European scale. The company’s product range is mainly aimed at the pet food (pet-food) and feed market for fish farming, as well as livestock and horticulture. The company has full vertical integration of the production process – from its own genetic material to the final product. Production is carried out in a modular model, making it easily scalable. The company debuted on the NewConnect market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange in July 2022.
