Albanian botanicals leave as raw exports. Duva keeps more value in Albania.

  • €60m+Albanian medicinal and aromatic plant exports
  • 90–95%of harvested plants leave the country as raw export
  • 27.2%visitor growth
  • Recurringhotel refill demand
Why this creates value

Duva keeps formulation, production, packaging, intellectual property and customer relationships in Albania—where more of the margin can be retained.

How Duva creates recurring revenue

One laboratory supplies hotels.
One resort creates proof, feedback and demand.

Hotel dispensers generate recurring refill orders. Duva Resort validates the products with guests, supports retail sales and gives hospitality buyers a working demonstration.

The investment thesis

A funded laboratory.
Recurring hotel demand.
Six paths to scale.

A funded laboratory starts recurring hotel supply. Albanian ingredients improve provenance and margin. Duva Resort proves demand in a real guest environment.

01

Recurring by design

Installed dispensers turn every hotel account into planned refill demand.

02

More value stays in Albania

Duva keeps formulation, production, packaging, IP and customer ownership in Albania.

03

An owned demand engine

Duva Resort converts product use into retail sales, feedback and hotel contracts.

04

Several paths to scale

Extraction, technology and new products receive capital only after demand is proven.

Funded foundation

The €300k builds a working laboratory.

The first investment is assigned to permits, hygienic production space, utilities, equipment, commissioning and opening materials.

Capital discipline

Every next investment must clear a commercial test.

  1. 01
    Orders before capacity

    Add production equipment after utilisation and signed demand justify it.

  2. 02
    Contracts before extraction

    Scale ingredients after repeat buyers validate specifications and pricing.

  3. 03
    Proof before technology

    Commercialise Duva Flow only after external hotels confirm water savings, guest engagement and payback.

What protects the investment case

Core business: retention above 80%, controlled formulas, protected working capital and production tied to demand.

Resort: separately financed, budget-controlled and excluded from core targets until operating performance is validated.

Extraction: expanded only against repeat ingredient demand and tested specifications.

Duva Flow: launched only after independent pilots demonstrate water savings, guest engagement and customer payback.
