June 12, 2023
Shawcor Ltd. has recently announced that it has rebranded to Mattr (legal name: Shawcor Ltd., dba Mattr Infratech) herein referred to as “Mattr” or the “Company”.
This change reflects its transformation from an energy services organization, into a materials technology company, providing differentiated, high-performance products to critical infrastructure markets around the world. Effective June 7, trading of Mattr’s common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange will be quoted under the ticker symbol TSX: MATR. As part of the rebrand, the Company has launched a beta of its new website that can be accessed at www.mattr.com.
In concert with the rebrand, the Company has made the following changes to its reporting segments:
