White Plains, New York — September 9, 2020 – Deutsch Capital LLC today announced an investment in SECOS Group Limited (ASX: SES). Australian-based SECOS is a leading developer and manufacturer of sustainable packaging materials. The company was founded in 2002 under a predecessor name. Deutsch Capital’s investment represented the largest portion of an AUD $15 million placement of ordinary shares to a group of institutional investors and existing shareholders. Proceeds from the placement will be used for capital expenditures, including production capacity expansion and plant optimization, accelerating research and development, increasing sales and marketing efforts, and general working capital.

Donald F. Haller, Jr., director and major shareholder, commented, “SECOS has made tremendous progress in the past few years.
