Natrium Capital Limited is pleased to announce it has advised Dutch Glycerin Refinery B.V. (“DGR”) on its sale to Musim Mas.
Musim Mas Europe Pte. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Musim Mas Group, today announced that it has reached an agreement to DGR, a producer of refined and high quality Glycerine based in the Netherlands.
Europe accounts for approximately 41% of the world’s crude Glycerine supply and also consumes 28% of the world’s refined Glycerine. As such, DGR is well positioned at the centre of global Glycerine trade route.
