The first announced investment is COP$20,000 million, reported as approximately US$5 million, directed to CFC Cafarcol, a packaging manufacturer. The sources describe Ithaca’s approach as providing long-term capital rather than short-term financing, aligning with its stated goal of supporting companies’ continued growth.
