Y-MatTec Announces UK Offshore Grout Production Facility

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.

This announcement marks a key milestone in Y-MatTec's exploration of UK-based manufacturing, which will help strengthen the offshore wind supply chain by offering shorter delivery routes, cost efficiencies, and reduced shelf-life risks during foundation installation campaigns.

The Port of Montrose is strategically positioning itself as a hub for the energy transition, while Y-MatTec brings deep expertise in grout innovation and offshore wind project delivery. The collaboration reflects a shared ambition to support the UK's growing leadership in offshore wind.

Y-MatTec's interest in the UK market has been supported by Scottish Development International (SDI), whose role in facilitating inward investment has been instrumental in progressing this opportunity.
