2024: Alfa Capital co-owns 3D printer manufacturer AVP ZIAS, valued at 4.4 billion rubles

In September 2024, the management company Alfa-Capital became a co-owner of the manufacturer of industrial 3D printers AVP ZIAS, estimated by investors at ₽4,4 billion. The deal was held in the format of a closed fund under the management of Alfa-Capital Management Company, and the completed round took place in a mixed cash-in and cash-out format. As a result, the fund received a 29.5% stake in the company.

According to Vedomosti, AVP ZIAS intends to use the funds raised to expand production and increase working capital. According to analysts' forecasts, in the next 2-3 years the market value of the company may increase significantly, which will prepare it for a public offering of shares (IPO) or to attract a strategic investor.

According to Vladimir Bragin, Director for Analysis of Financial Markets and Macroeconomics of Alfa Capital Management Company, profitability for unit holders will be formed due to two factors: potential dividends and funds that can be obtained during and after the IPO or sale of shares in the secondary market. Investors can expect high dividends given the marginality of the business, which allows the company to quickly recoup investments.

To protect the interests of investors, an option is provided for the repurchase of the share within five years at a price tied to financial indicators in the absence of an IPO. However, the specific financial parameters of the deal were not disclosed.

According to Spark-Interfax, the owners of AVP Innovations LLC, operating under the AVP ZIAS brand, are Nikolai Bulgakov (35.25%), ZPIF Alpha Direct Investments 4 (29.5%), CEO Alexander Netkachev (19.74%), as well as Petr Galinov, Vadim Kiradiev (7.05% each) and Vladimir Romanenko (1.41%).

AVP ZIAS specializes in the design and production of 3D printers for layer-by-layer printing, allowing you to quickly make molds of any configuration.^[1]
