Shawcor Ltd. (TSX: SCL) today announced that it has rebranded to
Mattr (legal name: Shawcor Ltd., dba Mattr Infratech) herein
referred to as “Mattr” or the “Company”, reflecting its
transformation from an energy services organization, into a

high-performance products to critical infrastructure markets around
the world. Effective today, trading of Mattr’s common stock on the
Toronto Stock Exchange will be quoted under the ticker symbol TSX:

In concert with the rebrand, the Company has
made the following changes to its reporting segments:
- The Composite Systems reporting segment will now be known as
Composite Technologies. Businesses contained within the Composite
Technologies segment continue to be the Flexpipe® business, which
manufactures premium flexible fiberglass reinforced composite pipe
used for oil and gas gathering and water disposal lines, carbon
dioxide injection lines and other applications requiring corrosion
resistance and high-pressure capabilities; and the Xerxes®
business, which manufactures market-leading fiberglass reinforced
plastic underground storage tanks, primarily used within the retail
fuel, storm water and wastewater markets and other composite
material based storm water management products
- The Automotive
and Industrial reporting segment will now be known as Connection
Technologies. Businesses contained within the Connection
Technologies segment continue to be the Shawflex business, which
manufactures highly specified custom wire and cable products for
complex applications and extreme environments; and the DSG-Canusa

tubing products and accessories for automotive, communications,
electrical utility, electronic and energy markets
The name of the Pipeline and Pipe Services
reporting segment, for which a strategic review process is ongoing,
will remain the same. The Shawcor name will continue to be used as
a brand name for the pipe coating business within this segment.

as we launch our new name and brand image, an image that is
reflective of the nimble, modern, energetic workforce that we
employ and better aligns with our fundamentally transformed
portfolio,” said Mike Reeves, President and CEO of Mattr. “As we
look to the future, we will leverage our new image, our
