Information on the Accsys Group of Companies:
Accsys Technologies PLC (www.accsysplc.com) - is an environmental science and
technology company whose primary focus is on the production and licensing of
AccoyaTM via its 100% owned subsidiary, Titan Wood (www.titanwood.com), with
manufacturing operations based in Arnhem, The Netherlands. AccoyaTM,
manufactured through the Company's proprietary acetylation process, exhibits
superior dimensional stability and durability compared with other natural and
treated timber. Accsys is also developing technology to modify wood fibre to
enable future production of a range of panel products.
Accsys' operations comprise three principal business units: (i) the AccoyaTM
production facility located in Arnhem, The Netherlands; (ii) technology
development focused on a programme of continuous improvements to the process
engineering and operating protocols for the acetylation of wood as well as the
development of technology for the acetylation of wood fibre; and (iii) the
licensing of technology for the production of AccoyaTM across the globe.
Accsys Technologies PLC shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange AIM
market under the symbol 'AXS'.
AccoyaTM wood (www.accoya.info) is produced using a patented process that
effectively converts sustainably grown softwoods and non-durable hardwoods into
what is best described as a 'new wood species'. Distinguished by its durability,
dimensional stability and, perhaps most importantly, its reliability (in terms
of consistency of both supply and quality), AccoyaTM wood is particularly suited
to exterior applications where performance and appearance are valued. Unlike
most tropical and European hardwoods, its colour does not degrade when exposed
to ultraviolet light. Moreover, the AccoyaTM wood production process does not
compromise the wood's strength or machinability. The combination of UV
resistance, dimensional stability, durability and retained strength means that
AccoyaTM wood offers a wealth of new opportunities to architects, designers and
specifiers. For marine uses where weight is also important, AccoyaTM wood for
the first time provides boat builders with a wood that is strong and durable,
which retains its natural beauty for far longer, without a dramatic weight
increase.
