Flowtech Fluidpower plc

("Flowtech," or "the Company")

 

Flowtech continues to make progress

in winning new customer and supplier agreements to help power growth

 

Flowtech is pleased to announce the following business wins. These
achievements are a testament to the knowledge and expertise of Flowtech's
specialist engineering and commercial teams, which draws in the skills from
around the business to tender and secure new customer and supplier partnership
opportunities that will assist to enhance the reputation and underpin the
future growth of the Company.

 Narrow Water Bridge project win

Proposed finalised design for Narrow Water Bridge

Flowtech has successfully secured a new prestigious €4.5 million contract on
the Narrow Water Bridge. The iconic project will feature a 195-metre
cable-stayed and moveable span bascule bridge construction to allow maritime
access to the Newry Canal. This key piece of infrastructure is also designed
to accommodate vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians, connecting Cornamucklagh
near Omeath, Co. Louth with Narrow Water near Warrenpoint, Co. Down, thereby
creating an important link between the Republic of Ireland and Northern
Ireland, and symbolising co-operation and connection between communities.

The Bridge is set to commence construction in Q3 2025 and will take 24 months
to complete. Flowtech will support the Mechanical, Electrical,
Instrumentation, Control, and Automation (MEICA) elements, as well as any
Hydraulic needs identified during the project.

Flowtech is proud to be collaborating with a range of partners on the
construction team including Louth County Council, Roughan & O'Donovan,
H&H, Demako BV, BAM UK & Ireland and Aelterman BV. Funding for the
project is through the Government's Shared Island Fund. The interest and
support from Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Minister for Housing, Local
Government and Heritage, James Browne TD also emphasises how important and
transformative the finished project will be for the area in the future.

 New joint venture formalised with SMC

Flowtech has become the first UK wholesale distributor for SMC Corporation
(UK) Limited, the UK and global market leader in fluid control and automation
technologies. Together, we are setting a new standard in service and supply
for UK industry.

 

The partnership agreement signed this month adds a powerful channel for
customers of both businesses to secure the right solution for their needs,
with the minimum lead time. It will also enable a wide selection of parts from
SMC's standard selection to become available to order and ship from Flowtech's
HQ and Global Fulfilment Centre in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, making it easier
for UK industry to source tried and trusted fluid control solutions from one
location. In addition, Flowtech's customers will gain access to experienced
design and engineering staff who can provide technical advice across a wide
variety of industry sectors, and aftermarket service of SMC stocked products.
Customers of both organisations will also benefit from country-wide coverage
backed up with the vast experience and sector specialisms that both SMC and
Flowtech can offer.

 Thorite awarded New Authorised Distributor status for HPC

 

The Company is pleased to announce that its trading business Thorite has
re-partnered its 45-year association with HPC Compressed Air Systems following
its appointment as an officially authorised distributor of HPC's Compressed
Air Equipment. HPC has over many years built a strong reputation for providing
KAESER KOMPRESSOREN products, a brand renowned for being one of the world's
leading manufacturers and providers of compressed air products, services, and

applications across the broader industrial market sectors.

This renewed partnership provides an excellent foundation to build upon which
will deliver notable success and momentum to both businesses and customers. It
also re-positions Thorite within Flowtech's capital equipment offering and
service capabilities, providing market-leading solutions that will support the
business' next phase of exciting growth.

With access to HPC's quality range of equipment, advice, and parts Thorite
will be able to provide an enhanced service, support, and solutions offering.

Commenting on these developments, Mike England, Flowtech Group CEO, said:

"I am immensely proud of the team's achievements on these and other projects
which we are currently working toward. As One Flowtech, we were selected for
our top-tier distribution expertise combined with leading product and
engineering innovation, ensuring timely access to high-performance solutions
wherever needed.

 

"Flowtech continues to be the first choice for major infrastructure projects
and our involvement in the Narrow Water Bridge project is testament to our
unrivalled expertise as a specialist in MEICA and Hydraulics and coupled with
our knowledge in bridge design and repair makes Flowtech the perfect match for
this project. This success follows on from the recent €4.5m contract win
last month to upgrade Rice Bridge in Waterford City, Republic of Ireland.*

projects as we move forward."
