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.
