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.
The 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.
Elo Yde, CEO of Y-MatTec A/S, commented: “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, said: “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.”
