Notes to editors:
Accsys Technologies PLC (www.accsysplc.com) is a fast-growing
and eco-friendly company that combines chemistry and technology to
create high performance, sustainable wood building products.
Accsys' primary focus is on the production of Accoya(R) wood and
Tricoya(R) wood elements, technology licensing via its subsidiary,
Titan Wood Limited, which has manufacturing operations in Arnhem,
the Netherlands (through its subsidiary Titan Wood B.V.), a
European office in London, United Kingdom, an American office in
Dallas, Texas (via its subsidiary Titan Wood, Inc.) and technology
licensing associated with the acetylation of wood elements via its
subsidiary Tricoya Technologies Limited. Any references in this
announcement to agreements with Accsys shall mean agreements with
either Accsys or its subsidiary entities unless otherwise
specified. Accsys Technologies PLC is listed on the London Stock
Exchange AIM market and on Euronext Amsterdam, under the symbols
'AXS'. Accsys' operations comprise four principal business units:
(i) Accoya(R) wood production; (ii) building and operating of
Tricoya(R) wood chip acetylation plant in Hull; (iii) technology
development, focused on a programme of continuous development of
and improvements to the process engineering and operating protocols
for the acetylation of solid wood and the development of technology
for the acetylation of wood elements; and (iv) the licensing of
technology for the production of Accoya(R) wood and Tricoya(R) wood
elements across the globe.
Tricoya(R) Consortium In March 2017, Accsys announced the
formation of the Tricoya(R) Consortium to fund, build and operate
the Tricoya(R) plant in Hull, UK. Members of the consortium include
BP and the leading manufacturer of sustainable wood-based panels,
MEDITE Europe DAC. Tricoya Ventures UK Ltd (TVUK), a subsidiary of
Accsys, owns and will operate the Tricoya(R) plant. TTL exploits
all Tricoya(R) related intellectual property and benefits from any
Tricoya(R) related revenues other than those generated by the
Tricoya(R) plant. The Tricoya(R) plant has a targeted annual
production capacity of 30,000 metric tonnes of Tricoya(R) chips per
annum, enough to produce approximately 40,000m(3) of Tricoya(R)
panel products per annum. The Tricoya(R) plant is expected to reach
EBITDA breakeven at approximately 40% design capacity and to take
approximately three years to reach full capacity following
start-up. The location of the Tricoya(R) plant at Saltend Chemicals
Park in Hull allows for expansion when market conditions
dictate.
Accoya(R) Wood (www.accoya.com) is produced using Accsys'
proprietary patented acetylation technology that effectively
converts sustainably grown softwoods and non-durable hardwoods into
what is best described as a "high technology wood". Distinguished
by its durability, dimensional stability and, perhaps most
importantly of all, its reliability (in terms of consistency of
both supply and quality), Accoya(R) wood is particularly suited to
exterior applications where performance and appearance are valued.
Moreover, the Accoya(R) wood production process does not compromise
the wood's strength or machinability. The combination of
dimensional stability, durability and retained strength means that
Accoya(R) wood offers a wealth of new opportunities to architects,
designers and specifiers. These benefits result in lower
maintenance and total cost of ownership while using a higher
sustainable and environmental responsible building material. For a
full archive of Accoya(R) news, visit www.accoya.com/news.
Tricoya(R) Wood Elements (www.tricoya.com) are produced using
Accsys' proprietary technology for the acetylation of wood chips
and particles for use in the fabrication of panel products such as
medium density fibreboard and particle-board. These products
demonstrate enhanced durability and dimensional stability which
allow them to be used in a variety of applications that were once
limited to solid wood or man-made products. Exploitation of Accsys'
proprietary technology relating to Tricoya(R) Wood Elements is
carried out through Tricoya Technologies Limited. Tricoya(R) Wood
Elements are lauded as the first major innovation in the wood
composites industry in more than 30 years.
Wood Acetylation is a process which increases the amount of
'acetyl' molecules in wood, thereby changing its physical
properties. When carried out to a sufficient level throughout the
wood, this process protects wood from rot by making it "inedible"
to most micro-organisms and fungi, without - unlike conventional
treatments - making it toxic. It also greatly reduces the wood's
tendency to swell and shrink, making it less prone to cracking and
ensuring that, when painted, it requires dramatically reduced
maintenance.
'Accsys' and 'Accsys Technologies' are trading names of Titan
Wood Limited. Accsys, ACCOYA(R) , TRICOYA(R) and the Trimarque
Device are registered trademarks owned by Titan Wood Limited
("TWL"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Accsys Technologies PLC, and
