Gurit announces multi-year contract to subsea sector
Updated: Sep 16, 2025 Views 80
Gurit has secured a multi-year contract supplying Corecell structural foam core to the subsea industry.
This enables us to further expand its operations in the Asia-Pacific region, specifically Australia, where we will open a new facility to support this new contract, and take the opportunity to relocate our current distribution facility to the new site, expected to be near Brisbane, Queensland. This agreement is projected to generate a low to mid double-digit million CHF in sales within five years.
Corecell is a market-leading, high performing structural core material based on styrene acrylonitrile resin (SAN), originally developed by Gurit in the 1980s and undergoing numerous improvements since then. It remains unmatched in the marketplace, with a long history of success in extremely high performance and demanding applications.
“We are a proven supplier of composite materials with outstanding performance to boundary-pushing applications. This major contract marks a significant step in our ongoing strategic realignment, accelerating our transformation into a dynamic, multi-market company. This long-term partnership demonstrates our commitment to diversification beyond traditional markets, leveraging our expertise in advanced composites solutions to capture new opportunities across multiple industries,” said Lance Hill, general manager Marine & Industrial, Gurit.

Port of Rotterdam, Port of Antwerp-Bruges Introduce Bunkering Change
From 1 January 2026, all bunker vessels operating in the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp-Bruges must use a Mass Flow Meter (MFM) when delivering residual distillates (fuel oil and diesel) and biofuels. This system measures exactly how much fuel goes from the bunker ship to the seagoing vessel. The aim is to make the bunker market in both ports more reliable, efficient, and transparent. Once the MFM system is implemented, it must also be certified.
