26 September 2023: Hexagon Composites' (OSE: HEX.OL) wholly owned subsidiary,
Hexagon Ragasco (the "Company") is the global market leader in composite
cylinders for liquid petroleum gas (LPG) with more than 22 million cylinders
sold to over 100 countries worldwide. Its portfolio of products, used for
leisure, household, and industrial applications, are manufactured in its highly
automated production facility in Norway. Today, Hexagon Composites announces a
strategic review of the Company.
Hexagon Ragasco is currently developing the next generation composite LPG
cylinder concept; a sensor-based digital ecosystem with the potential to improve
data insights to drive down costs across the value chain and unlock new business
opportunities for LPG distributors. An initial pilot is being carried out
together with the leading LPG distributor in Norway.
The Company is also eyeing substantial growth opportunities outside its core
market in Europe. This includes developing markets where LPG is expected to be a
critical part of the energy transition, improving air quality and health for
billions of people who today rely on highly pollutant and toxic fuels.
"Hexagon Ragasco has an exciting pipeline of growth opportunities which may be
realized through, inter alia, structural strategic moves. We will carefully
evaluate whether the Company's growth potential can best be realized inside or
outside the Hexagon Group," says Jon Erik Engeset, CEO, Hexagon Group. "We take
tremendous pride in the position Hexagon Ragasco has developed to date and we
intend to secure the Company the best possible conditions for continued
success."
DNB Markets and Danske Bank Norwegian Branch have been retained as financial
advisors.
