DBJC II

completed

Detroit Belarus Juice Company (DBJC) is a juice production and tapping company with its production facilities located on Nakhimova Street in Bobruisk, approximately 150 kilometers south east of Minsk in Belarus. The company receives concentrated juices and fruit pastes from Worldwide sources, as well as some local fresh and concentrated juices. The juices / concentrates are then pretreated when needed and mixed according to recipes, before being pasteurized and tapped into distribution size packaging. The company is not involved in transport of either the raw materials or the final distribution as these activities are contracted on an as need basis. IFC is already equity minority share holder of the company, and intends to participate in a planned Rights Issue intended to provide the required equity capitalization for the sustainable growth of the company. IFC's initial involvement was appraised and disclosed as a Eastern Europe regional investment under the name of Detroit Investments (DI). This investment was designed to cover additional (retail) activities too, while the current project is limited to the juice company, which today is a separate legal entity. The original disclosure can be found by using this link: Project ID #25113.
