From Charlies earlier visit to Sibex.....Russian reporting/translation.
Russian-Australian Ltd. SIBEX opened by the Tomsk shop in industrial production of biologically active substances - polyprenols. New Power Line - 20 kg polyprenols month, with world consumption of about 500 kg per year. According to analysts, investments in production did not exceed $ 10 million

Yesterday at a factory in the village SIBEX Semiluzhki Tomsk region was opened shop organic extraction and preparative chromatography to produce polyprenols. «Today's event is important not only for Tomsk, but for the entire world community. This is the world's first commercial production line polyprenols. We use as a raw material that the world is considered waste timber production, and extract a number of natural slozhnomolekulyarnyh biologically effective substances with a high range of applications in medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics and food industries », - said at the ceremony, Executive Director of the Australian company Solagran Limited Charles Pellegrino.

Kommersant Tomskoe SIBEX Ltd. was founded in 2002, in the summer of 2003, the company began construction of a plant in Semiluzhkah. In 2007, to the founders Ltd. joined Australian company Solagran Limited with a share of 60%.. now more. Today the company produces 1 ton of oil fraction carbon dioxide extract of Siberian fir and 500 liters of water fraction.


Poliprenoly identified in the leaves of plants, bacteria and fungi animal tissue. Higher contents polyprenols noted in conifers. Polyprenols and their derivatives patented as an effective means of prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases, including anemia, diabetes, cancer and HIV infection.


Power from a new shop at 20 kg product per month. According to the chief technologist shop organic extraction and preparative chromatography Alexey Malyshev, this plant requires daily ton of raw materials. «Raw materials are chopping wood greens, we will work with elyu. In the production process needles more than 10 production operations. Of the tons of raw materials we receive about 7 kg of extract, and then it produces a component», - said Mr. Malyshev. The technology of industrial production polyprenols was developed in Tomsk, basic equipment for this line is designed and constructed by Russian «Siberian Chemical Complex».

CEO SIBEX Alexander Kurganov stressed that the alleged production enough, as the cost of one gram polyprenols now on the market reached € 12,5. So far, it produced only in laboratory conditions. SIBEX полипренолов пока является только компания Solagran Limited. The employer issued SIBEX polyprenols is still only company Solagran Limited.

According to the EC «Finam», every year the world consumed about 500 kg polyprenols. Analyst Sergei Filchenkov company believes that the Tomsk Ltd. SIBEX begins production of «middle-... and potentially to be among the largest producers».

Investment Australians in the production of polyprenols in Siberia, he finds more than reasonable: «In Japan and the U.S. polyprenols is produced by processing pork liver and pancreas.

The complexity of extraction makes it a high price for polyprenols and their derivatives. The price of meat rise, needles as the richest plant source of polyprenols goes first ». According to Sergei Filchenkova, investment in building production capacity claimed does not exceed $ 10 million.
