Vietnam: Certified Wood Biomass Pellet & Chip Producer — Growth Capital / Majority Opportunity

The target is an established wood biomass fuel manufacturer based in Central Vietnam, strategically positioned near abundant acacia plantation resources and regional export ports. The company converts acacia timber and forestry residues into high-calorific wood pellets and chips, with an installed production capacity of approximately 100,000 tonnes per annum. Output is supplied primarily to Japanese and European offtakers, serving utility-scale biomass power generation and industrial heat customers under long-cycle export relationships. The company holds FSC and PEFC chain-of-custody certifications, a critical qualification for premium-priced, compliance-driven buyers in decarbonising energy markets. Key investment highlights include: • Secure raw material access within one of Asia's most competitive fibre baskets • Internationally recognised sustainability certifications enabling premium export channels • Current utilisation of approximately 67%, offering immediate incremental volume without major greenfield capex • Established blue-chip export demand from Japan and Europe, underpinned by national renewable energy mandates and biomass co-firing targets • Experienced local management team seeking a long-term strategic partner The shareholders are open to a significant minority stake (25–49%) or a majority position (51–99%), with new capital primarily deployed to expand throughput, upgrade processing lines and secure additional feedstock supply. The transaction may be structured as a capital increase, allowing a majority interest to be obtained while retaining incumbent operational expertise. This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a certified, export-ready renewable fuel platform in a fast-growing ASEAN production hub aligned with global net-zero supply chains.
