Final building permits obtained for the construction
of the first phase of the PDO and BA production unit

Clermont-Ferrand, 13 November 2018 – (FR0004177046 METEX), METabolic EXplorer (METEX), an industrial biochemical company specialising in the development and industrial application of green and sustainable fermentation processes, has provided an update on construction progress of its plant of 1,3 propanediol (PDO) and butyric acid (BA) at the Carling St-Avold petrochemical platform in the Moselle department.

As a reminder, last July METabolic EXplorer and Bpifrance, through its investment fund Société de Projets Industriels (SPI), signed the final agreements for the financing of METEX NØØVISTA, an entity created for the production and marketing of PDO and BA to supply, respectively, the cosmetics and animal nutrition markets.

In the first half of 2018, METEX filed the building permits and environmental permit. Without recourse within the statutory time limits, the company announced today that it has obtained the final building permits for the construction of the first phase (6 kt) of its plant for the production of PDO and BA.

The closing of these agreements with Bpifrance is planned before the end of 2018 and notably after the lifting of the main conditions precedent including the obtention of the operating environmental licence. The review of the file is underway and its examination by the CODERST of Moselle (Departmental Council for the Environment and Health and Technological Risks) is scheduled for early December.

METEX reminds that it will have a 55% stake in METEX NØØVISTA and will grant it an exclusive, worldwide licence for its technology. Through its SPI investment fund, Bpifrance will provide 45% of the share capital of METEX NØØVISTA.
