WITH THE ACQUISITION OF THERMOTITE DO BRASIL

Meudon (France), September 16, 2024 – Vallourec, a world leader in premium seamless tubular solutions, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire from Mattr (MATR.TO) 100% of the shares of its subsidiary Thermotite do Brasil Ltda. a specialized provider of thermal insulation pipe coating services for the offshore oil and gas industry.

Philippe Guillemot, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Chief Executive Officer declared: “This acquisition is a further step forward in our strategy to provide premium integrated solutions for the most challenging offshore projects. Thermotite’s expertise perfectly complements our existing portfolio of anti-corrosion coating solutions, allowing us to offer our customers more complete and tailored line pipe solutions. By strengthening our presence in Brazil, a key market for the offshore industry, we are well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for premium tubular solutions both in the domestic market and in high-value export markets.”
