Press Release
Le Bourget-du-Lac, 13th February 2024 - 5:45pm CET
Reserved Capital increase of 2MEUR in favor of the
ENRX GROUP
. Confirmed strengthening of partnership with ENRX
. Creation of an international player dedicated to the energy transition of high-tech industries.
Roctool (Euronext Growth - FR0010523167 - ALROC), specialists in mold heating and cooling technologies for plastics and
composites, announced today that the ENRX Group has become a shareholder.
The Company's Board of Directors decided to issue 1,111,111 new shares to the ENRX Group at a unit price of 1.80EUR (of
which 0.20EUR par value and 1.60EUR issue premium), representing a capital increase of 2EUR million.
Building on a close relationship for over ten years, this deepening of the strategic partnership initiated on September
19th, 2023, reflects the conviction of both players that Roctool's high level of technological performance and
innovation combined with the ENRX Group's commercial strength, induction know-how in numerous fields and exceptional
market knowledge have the capacity to create a key market player.
This new step is a powerful acceleration for the deployment of Roctool's technology, as well as reinforcing the added
value of the ENRX Group's offering in support of the energy transition of cutting-edge industries. Starting in the
first half of 2024, Roctool technology will be installed at two ENRX sites (in Shanghai and Detroit) to organize
molding demonstrations and will be present at major international trade shows such as JEC (composites show in Paris)
and NPE (plastics show in the USA).
As part of the transaction, ENRX Group will join the Company's Board of Directors.
Bjorn Eldar Petersen, CEO of ENRX, comments: "Since we signed our partnership agreement last September, accelerating
our strategic partnership has been a matter of course. Our teams are already working closely together in Europe, Asia
and America to develop synergies and reinforce the deployment of induction technology for molding. Our systems,
featuring Roctool technologies, respond to the priorities of both our companies: eco-responsibility and efficiency. Our
expertise in induction technology, which has become a must in terms of energy savings and is one of ENRX Group's
spearheads, will enable Roctool to deploy its technology in a wide range of fields."
Mathieu Boulanger, CEO of Roctool, comments: "This operation has met with the approval of all the parties involved.
It's a great day for Roctool, which today seals the strategic partnership we've been looking for to support our growth,
the continuous improvement of our solutions, the acceleration of our product marketing and our international
deployment. Much more than a simple acquisition of a stake, we are now moving forward alongside a recognized player in
the sector, who will give us the benefit of its know-how and reputation, and who shares our sustainable approach. Every
day, we work to produce more environmentally friendly plastic parts and, above all, to eliminate paints, at a time when
manufacturers are increasingly looking for cutting-edge systems and services to meet their tool heating needs, we offer
some of the
most innovative solutions, in the service of performance, eco-responsibility and product quality".
