DANISH materials technology company Y-MatTec A/S has announced the Port of Montrose as its preferred location for a DNV-certified 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 announcement marks a key milestone in Y-MatTec’s exploration of UK-based manufacturing, which it said will help strengthen the offshore wind supply chain by offering shorter delivery routes, cost efficiencies, and reduced shelf-life risks during foundation installation campaigns.
Y-MatTec’s interest in the UK market has been supported by Scottish Development International (SDI).
Elo Yde, CEO of Y-MatTec A/S, 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.”
Tom Hutchison, CEO of Montrose Port Authority, added, “Montrose Port Authority has a proud history of supporting the energy sector. 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.”
