Project scope and objective
The project consists of supporting Desler Argentina’s expansion into Brazil by purchasing two centrifuges with rotary vacuum-drum filters. In Brazil, the company will provide liquid effluent treatment services to the industrial sector, specifically, cleaning dehydration units and water treatment ponds.
The purpose of this IIC operation is to provide financing to Desler for country diversification, through the expansion of its effluent treatment business from Argentina to Brazil. The funds will be used to procure equipment and for working capital.
Desler S.A. is an Argentinian company that began operations in 1993. Its main activities are the disposal of solid medical and industrial waste and effluent treatment. Desler began operating its pathogenic waste and industrial waste plants in 1993 and 1994, respectively. In subsequent years, Desler entered into agreements and strategic partnerships that enabled it to deliver additional, higher-quality services. The company’s industrial services and water services divisions were created in 2003 and 2004, respectively.
