Equity
Equity for 40%. Equipment, installation and commissioning.
DIS Group / industrial investment platform
Secondary aluminium. Valencia, Spain. Proposed industrial investment platform.
A production platform built to validate, then scale. Non-UBC scrap. Controlled alloys. Measured batch economics. Feasibility and economics remain unproven.
Historical internal investment gates remain HOLD. This page describes a proposed project, not an operating plant and not a public offer of securities.
01 / Investment opportunity
Proposed transaction terms. €1.5m pre-money / €2.5m post-money are implied values, not an independent valuation.
Equity for 40%. Equipment, installation and commissioning.
5 years, 9% p.a. Scrap, inventory, freight and customer receivables.
Proposed terms require definitive agreements. They are not committed financing, a valuation opinion, or an investment recommendation.
Preliminary DIS CAPEX / start-up envelope. All categories require quotations. Grants are excluded.
| Allocation | Envelope |
|---|---|
| Equipment package | €500k |
| Freight / import / handling | €80k |
| Installation / utilities | €150k |
| Facility fit-out | €80k |
| Engineering / permits | €70k |
| Deposit / pre-opening | €40k |
| Contingency | €80k |
| Total | €1,000k |
50% equipment package. Final scope and cost subject to turnkey RFQ.
02 / Why Valencia
APV port-system data, 2025. Torrent is an advertised reference only: not secured, permitted or technically qualified.
5.66m TEU. Spain / Europe access and global container routes. Port-system context only — not proof of project profitability.
PI Mas del Jutge, Torrent. €8,000/month reference rent. 10 t + 5 t advertised cranes. Advertised access from 2 streets.
Facility attributes derive from retained internal reference records. Original listing SRC-081 is not retained and requires re-verification. Not secured, available, negotiated, permitted, technically suitable or utility-qualified.
03 / Feedstock
Registry records are neither suppliers nor tonnes. 294 is a subset of 306. No secured supply is implied.
Extraction/register count only; not supplier count, supply pool, available tonnes or secured supply. Code coverage incomplete. Snapshot 13 Aug 2026, Comunitat Valenciana. Used beverage cans are outside the initial strategy.
04 / Process
Target RFQ configuration. New Chinese turnkey system, ~10 t furnace, hybrid gas/electric concept. Vendor engineering required. Equipment has not been purchased.
Proposed concept — not an existing DIS facility. No equipment, vendor, fuel architecture or operating guarantee selected.
05 / Interactive scale-up
DIS targets. ~1,500 t/month around Year 5 needs a separate expansion programme and further capital. Not demonstrated throughput, installed capacity, sales demand or secured feedstock. No dates.
50 t/month is commercial validation. Base annualised steady-state model. Additional engineering, customers, supply and capital are required for each expansion.
Revenue / year €1.66m
EBITDA / year −€29k
Rent / finished t €160
Staff / FTE 6
~54 t/month is the indicative break-even with 6 FTE in the Base model. 50 t/month is commercial validation. ~1,500 t/month is strategic ambition, not installed capacity.
06 / Unit economics
Contribution before fixed labour, rent and overhead. Preliminary DIS assumptions, not EBITDA per tonne.
Recovery determines the effective metal cost
€1,600 ÷ 92% = €1,739. DIS modelling scenario. No contracted prices or demonstrated operating performance.
Preliminary DIS assumptions. Contribution before fixed labour, rent and overhead — not EBITDA/t. Live metal prices are not used on this page.
07 / Scenario economics
Annualised EBITDA sensitivity, not forecasts. The Conservative case remains loss-making at all three displayed stages. Upside is not the expected case.
| Finished output | Conservative | Base | Upside |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 t/month | −€324k | −€29k | €191k |
| 150 t/month | −€256k | €629k | €1,291k |
| 300 t/month | −€176k | €1,593k | €2,917k |
Conservative remains loss-making at 50, 150 and 300 t/month. Scale amplifies the economics of each tonne.
Illustrative equity sensitivity
No dividends, no dilution, €1m exit net-debt assumption. Funding gaps and unpriced growth CAPEX remain. No assured exit or debt recovery.
| Conservative | Base | Upside | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potential 40% value | €0.00m | €3.05m | €7.18m |
| Equity MOIC | 0.00× | 3.05× | 7.18× |
| Equity IRR / 5 years | N/M | 25.0% | 48.3% |
Conditional arithmetic, not forecast receipts. Downside cannot service the loan without new capital. Separate loan exposure: 9% on outstanding principal. €90k full-year interest on €1m. Base illustrative schedule totals €315k interest, conditional on payment capacity.
08 / Working capital
75-day Asia cycle assumption. Cost-funded working-capital proxy, excluding fixed-cost reserves and taxes. Actual days remain unvalidated.
Asia / 75 days proxy at the selected stage.
Within the €1.0m initial loan reference.
| Base scale | Asia / 75 days | Gap versus €1.0m loan |
|---|---|---|
| 50 t/month | €259k | €0k |
| 150 t/month | €776k | €0k |
| 300 t/month | €1,553k | ~€553k |
Buy → produce → ship → accept → collect → repeat ×3. Principal starts after the third paid qualifying shipment. This is a proxy; actual days remain unvalidated. The ~€553k gap at 300 t/month is not coloured as success.
09 / Markets
No route ranking or customer offtake is established. Historical trade is a customs proxy, not DIS demand. No DIS sales or offtake are confirmed.
| Route | Commercial priority | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|
| Spain / Europe | Qualification and shorter-cycle trials | Netback to validate |
| Japan | Buyer specifications, freight and payment | Target market |
| South Korea | Buyer and bilateral-market validation | Validation in progress |
Retained Spain → Japan CN76012080 exports
Cause unestablished.
Historical retained Eurostat CN76012080 customs proxy; not secondary-aluminium market size, DIS demand, offtake, accessible customers or transaction pricing. Spain → WORLD 2025: 99,413.216 t is context only and includes Japan; the totals are not added together.
No returned observations for 2023–2025. Missing observations ≠ zero demand. Do not infer DIS sales, imports of zero, or customer offtake.
10 / Logistics
Conceptual routes only. Not proof of customer demand, route economics, freight rates or transit times. No buyer names.
Qualification and shorter-cycle trials
Evidence status: Netback to validate
Spain and nearby Europe are the initial customer-validation priority. Superior economics are not established.
11 / Development roadmap
V2 describes proposed progress criteria, not a reversal of HOLD. No calendar-based capacity or launch promise is supported.
Separate expansion programme and further capital. Not part of the initial installed platform.
Procurement. Recovery. Customer acceptance. Energy. Netback. Paid cash cycles. HOLD has not been reversed.
12 / Risks
Mitigations are proposed actions. Residual risk remains until commercial, technical and legal evidence is obtained.
Basket and multiple suppliers. Residual: tonnes, chemistry, prices, terms.
Preparation, controls and trials. Residual: measured batch mass balances.
Specifications, trials, diversification. Residual: acceptance and commercial contracts.
Metering, tariffs and efficiency. Residual: consumption and tariff offers.
RFQ, diligence, acceptance tests. Residual: conformity, guarantees and service.
Surveys and qualified advisers. Residual: utility offers and approvals.
Payment terms and trade finance. Residual: paid cycles and sufficient liquidity.
Stage gates and operating KPIs. Residual: demonstrated bottlenecks.
13 / Grants and energy
Base grant cash = €0. Green premium in Base Case = €0/t. All opportunities are identified / eligibility screening only, not awarded or committed.
INPYME / IVACE+i screening. Equipment, automation and digitalisation.
PERTE / IDAE / CDTI. Energy, storage, innovation and decarbonisation.
Enterprise Ireland / SEAI. Substantive Irish innovation and commercial activity.
Private capital funds the core case. Awarded support can improve capital efficiency. No BESS savings, hydrogen benefit, carbon revenue or green premium in Phase 1 Base Case.
14 / Partnership
€2.0m proposed commitment: €1.0m equity / 40% + €1.0m loan / 5 years / 9% p.a.
Build the platform. Prove the economics. Scale what works.
