Bluetector Receives $ 1.3 Million to Bring its Manure Solution to Market
LUCERNE, Switzerland (PRWEB) July 25, 2018 -- The company's product, the BlueBox Ultra, is ideal for the bio-treatment of manure. In the bioreactor of the BlueBox Ultra, the liquid manure is converted into water, which only contains traces of nitrogen and phosphorus and is perfectly suited for irrigation - thus conserving valuable groundwater. As nitrogen and phosphorus are almost completely removed, only very limited surfaces are required for spreading the water. The BlueBox Ultra eliminates the need for expensive and environmentally harmful manure transports, where manure sometimes has to be transported over hundreds of kilometres. As the manure is continuously treated, there is no longer any need for large storage tanks or manure lagoons.
David Din, founder and CEO of Bluetector, commented: "I thank our existing investors, among them the Zurich Cantonal Bank ZKB, for the trust and loyalty they have shown to Bluetector. Especially in Germany we meet many farmers who want to have a BlueBox Ultra from us in order to be able to treat their manure and thus save a lot of money compared to manure transports. In our view, the BlueBox Ultra represents an important contribution to solving the global manure crisis. We are now beginning the planning for a large Series-B financing round to prepare Bluetector for scale-up due to our expected growth".
A first closing of $ 1.0 million of the Series A financing round was already completed in January 2018. Since 2012 Bluetector has received a total of $ 3.3 million from investors in Switzerland.
