Could Hollund Industrial Marine (HIMR) be the investment opportunity of a lifetime?
Read this blog post by SCN.
Hollund Industrial Marine has an integrated business model as they work closely with clients to identify the local needs; and in turn design and implement a program to accomplish shared goals, including: (I) sustainable economic development, (II) enhanced water quality and habitat, (III) improved water navigation and safety, (IV) lower carbon emissions, and (V) provide viable alternatives to deforestation.
Hollund recently signed a strategic distribution agreement with North Cal Wood Products of Ukiah, CA. North Cal is an integrated reclaimed wood products company catering to high-end commercial and residential clients worldwide and was founded in 1985. This partnership is expected to be enhanced by Hollund’s exclusive 10-yr licensing agreement to manage, market, and operate the TigerLynk machinery. The TigerLynk machine is designed to operate like traditional forest equipment, but capable of operating in an underwater environment where there is expect to be a $50 billion global underwater forest market. There are an estimated 300-500 million trees inundated by roughly 50,000 man-made lakes and large dam reservoirs covering over 80 million acres around the world. Each TigerLynk machine is expected to be able to harvest up to 100 trees per day. These underwater exotic hardwoods such as Ipe, Mahogany and Teak are worth $1,500 - $3,000 per tree on a value added basis. That being said, each TigerLynk machine should be able to produce revenues of $150,000- $300,000 per day or about $75 mil/year. Again that is per machine.
Besides the expected revenues from this partnership we look at the environment. Under water timber harvesting save trees and keeps our ecosystem intact. Every tree save give enough oxygen for 10 people. By tapping into the preserved, relatively lifeless forests under the world's unnatural lakes, living forests in some of the most fragile ecosystems on the planet may stand a better chance of avoiding the blade.
