VERBIO AG takes over XiMo AG, a technology company whose business basis is the development and marketing of metathesis catalysts.

 

Zörbig/Leipzig, 29.09.2018 - With today's signature of a share transfer agreement, VERBIO Vereinigte BioEnergy AG has acquired 100 percent of the shares in XIMO AG, based in Switzerland.

XiMo AG is a technology company that develops catalysts for the metathesis of organic compounds. For VERBIO AG, Metathesis potentially offers the possibility to produce other chemical raw materials in future on the basis of vegetable oil alongside biodiesel. In the medium term, the goal is to develop together with XiMo AG the necessary catalysts and the necessary process technology to open up new sales channels for vegetable oil methyl esters outside the biodiesel market.

Through this transaction, VERBIO AG consolidates its position as a technology leader in the biodiesel segment and continues its strategy to diversify the product range outside the biofuels sector.
