- We are pleased to announce that the PRO BRO car wash has already opened its doors: Marking the successful implementation of a project that began in October 2023. The project started according to plan and is now open for business.
- Eco-conscious business: MIDI-type tunnel car washes minimize environmental impact, with over 80% of water being treated and reused, and the car wash generating about half of its required electricity from solar panels installed on its roofs. This conserves the environment and reduces operating costs.
- The project owner's strong commitment and firm belief in the project's success are evident by his investment of about 37% of his own funds, or roughly EUR 1.6 million.
- Long-term stability and reliable profits: Ensured through a 50-year lease agreement for the MIDI tunnel washer with PRO BRO operations SIA. This lease guarantees an annual income of EUR 316 000 excluding VAT.
Project Rating (Project Loss Risk): AA. This rating is consistent with the previous project rating of A-.
