Author:

Hexagon Composites, a global leader in composite cylinder technology and clean energy systems, has announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2024. Despite a slight decrease in revenues compared to the previous year, the company remains optimistic about its future prospects.

According to the report, Hexagon Composites generated NOK 1,083 million in revenue during Q1 2024, down from NOK 1,130 million in Q1 2023. Similarly, EBITDA for the quarter was NOK 77 million, compared to NOK 83 million in the same period last year.

However, Hexagon Agility, the company’s Mobile Pipeline distribution business, delivered record-breaking results for the eighth consecutive quarter. This success helped offset the softer performance of other business segments, according to Jon Erik Engeset, Group CEO of Hexagon Composites.

Looking ahead, Hexagon Composites expects increased demand for natural gas trucks in the second half of 2024, driven by the availability of a new 15-liter engine. The company also anticipates continued growth in its Mobile Pipeline business, fueled by the production of renewable natural gas. To support this growth, Hexagon Agility has implemented a capacity expansion program, ensuring a strong foundation for future success.

In addition to operational achievements, Hexagon Ragasco recently launched its innovative Linktra® LPG cylinder in Norway. This smart cylinder, developed in collaboration with Linde, offers enhanced convenience and efficiency for consumers and distributors, further establishing Hexagon Composites’ position as an industry leader.

With a clear vision for the future, Hexagon Composites is confident in achieving its 2025 targets of surpassing NOK 6 billion in revenues and maintaining a 15% EBITDA margin.
