Deal details
Down2Earth Capital has entered into a partnership with Derotex, the Belgian market leader in recycled natural fibers.
Derotex recycles natural fibers such as jute and flax into high-value materials for international clients across industries including insulation, textiles and automotive. Supported by strong circularity trends, the company is well positioned for further growth.
The management team, led by founder and CEO Manu Lagast, reinvests and remains closely involved. With Down2Earth as its new partner, Derotex aims to accelerate its buy-and-build strategy and further expand “The Circular Fiber Group”.
VDP acted as exclusive advisor to the shareholders of Derotex.
