Danish materials technology company Y-MatTec has revealed that the Port of Montrose on Scotland’s east coast is its preferred location for a new grout production facility in the UK.
The facility will supply Y-MatTec’s DNV type-approved structural grouts, used in offshore wind turbine foundations, directly into the UK market.
The Port of Montrose is strategically positioning itself as a hub for the energy transition, Y-MatTec said.
The Danish company’ interest in the UK market has been supported by the Scottish Development International, which Y-MatTec described as instrumental.
CEO Elo Yde said: “Announcing Port of Montrose as our preferred location reflects Y-MatTec’s strong intent to support the UK’s offshore wind sector with high-performance, DNV type-approved materials.
“Localising production in Scotland will offer real benefits in terms of cost, quality, and logistics.”
Montrose Port Authority CEO Tom Hutchison said: “Being selected as Y-MatTec’s preferred location underlines our growing role in the offshore wind supply chain and our commitment to enabling the UK’s energy transition.”
