(BioJet)  JATRO AG today (September 25, 2012) announced formation of a major Horizontal Collaboration Agreement with BioJet International Ltd.

The intended horizontal collaboration between the Companies in the format of a Strategic Alliance is meant to create a joint basis for a mutually beneficial business operation across global markets, technologies and geographies, translating into competitive advantages and additional commercial opportunities for each Company and its respective legal entities as well as for both Companies as a common consortium.

To drive the commercialization of sustainable plant oil and bio-kerosene production the Companies intend to:

 complement each other’s activities, including but not limited to feedstock development and supply, crushing and refining technology solutions, network integration, logistics and funding efforts;
 synchronize their collective and cooperative commercialization efforts;
 coordinate joint marketing and pitching events; and
 grant to each other mutual aggregator functionality for services, functions, technology and other deliverables that will serve and/or intend to:

o achieve operational efficiencies and savings beyond what either party can achieve on its own;
o increase the ability to secure reliability of supply by tapping into multiple and geographically diverse sources of bio-feedstock;
o facilitate financing and investment;
o leverage components of existing infrastructure/ alliances;
o facilitate bundling of feedstock, goods, technology and services while saving on common costs;
o add value to each other’s proprietary business deliverables and offerings;
o improve marketing effectiveness and profitability of the overall supply chain.
