ewpartners Announces $50 Million Strategic Investment in Leshines to Localize Manufacturing in the Middle East
- Leshines is the supply chain solution provider of Lenovo Group, which ranks among the top ten on Gartner’s prestigious Top 25 supply chain list.
- The move reinforces ewpartners’ and Leshine’s commitment to fostering local industrial growth and empowering enterprises in Saudi Arabia.
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ewpartners (formerly eWTP Arabia Capital), the first international investment firm to establish a Saudi-Asia cross border platform, has announced a USD $50 million investment in Leshines, the supply chain solutions arm of Chinese multinational tech company Lenovo at The Future Investment Initiative (FII), a premier global platform that drives transformative investments and fosters international partnerships for sustainable economic growth.
The investment accelerates the localization of Leshines capabilities in Saudi Arabia, further strengthening the Kingdom’s position as a vital player in sustainable global trade networks and supply chain operations.
Five months ago, Lenovo and PIF-backed company Alat announced a strategic collaboration, including a proposed US$2 billion investment. Today, this partnership is set to advance to the next step.
Leshines is also exploring the option of entering the KSA-Sino Logistics Special Economic Zone at King Salman International Airport in Riyadh, an initiative which was announced by the Saudi Ministry of Transport and Logistics earlier this month. Managed by ewpartners, the Zone will cover a total area of 4 square kilometres and consist of a logistics industrial park, an international commercial and business park, and corresponding living space and facilities. It will enable international companies to manufacture locally in Saudi and then springboard their distribution to other markets worldwide. It is expected to attract over 3,000 wholesalers and retailers and around 200 light industrial manufacturers from China and Asia.
Jerry Li, Founder and Managing Partner at ewpartners said the following on the announcement:
“This investment is a significant step towards building the future of Saudi Arabia that we all envision, and we are actively working to establish this goal. Our investment in Leshines underscores our commitment to this project and our determination to foster local industrial growth and the development of Saudi enterprises. By partnering with Leshines to bring advanced supply chain solutions to Saudi Arabia and the MENA markets, we further assist Chinese companies in exploring localized production and empower local enterprises, aligning with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.”
Alan Zhou, COO of Leshines, commented on the announcement:
As Lenovo’s smart supply chain solution platform, Leshines will take this opportunity to establish roots in Saudi Arabia, focusing on the MENA region, and build the foundational strategic capabilities of an advanced digital supply chain. As a globally leading strategic fund, ewpartners’ strategic resources and unique advantages in KSA, the Middle East, and emerging markets perfectly match Leshines’ strategic vision and development roadmap. With solid support and a strong partnership with ewpartners, we are confident that Saudi Arabia will become an important node in the Smart Supply Chain Platform, contributing to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
The investment in Leshines marks the first transaction for ewpartners Fund II. Amid the growing synergy between China and the Middle East, ewpartners’ investment model has garnered recognition from key stakeholders in the region. Supported by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, ewpartners has also recently secured commitments from other GCC sovereign wealth funds, including USD 150 million from the Oman Investment Authority.

Peritus Capital Secures Term Loan for Oberland Agriscience to Drive Sustainable Protein Production
NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Peritus Capital is pleased to announce a successful term loan arrangement for Oberland Agriscience Inc. The non-dilutive funding will support the Halifax-based company in scaling its production through equipment acquisitions and increased working capital.
Oberland Agriscience, a leader in sustainable protein, operates one of Canada’s largest Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) farms. It specializes in resilient, nutrient-rich ingredient solutions for aquaculture, pet food, poultry feed, and agriculture industries. The company leverages cutting-edge technology and automation, including machine learning and predictive analytics, to optimize its production processes, setting a new standard in the sustainable protein market.
“Black soldier fly larvae are extraordinary insects capable of transforming nearly any organic waste into valuable protein at a remarkable rate. Oberland’s rigorous, scientific approach positions it at the forefront of the sustainable protein revolution,” said Howard Tang, CEO of Peritus Capital.
The newly secured funding will help Oberland scale operations at its 108,000-square-foot Grassy Lake facility. This follows the success of its pilot farm, which operated for over seven years. The new production plant is projected to produce 3,500 tons of dry protein and 9,000 tons of frass annually, diverting 36,000 tons of pre-consumer waste from landfills and significantly reducing associated carbon dioxide emissions.
“Partnering with Peritus Capital to secure this investment is a tremendous win for us and the insect farming industry,” said Dr. Greg Wanger, Founder and CEO of Oberland Agriscience. “The global population continues to soar, and the food waste problem isn’t going away. Insects are natural to many animal diets, especially fish, and thus are an excellent ingredient in these feeds.”
About Peritus Capital
Peritus Capital is a boutique investment firm that invests in, supports, and finances the global development of ROI-generating, early-stage, and established corporates that integrate environmentally conscious practices in food production, focusing on the aquaculture sector.
