Shawcor Reduces Costs and Emissions by Streamlining Calgary Operations
May 19 2022 - 4:01PM
Shawcor Ltd. (“Shawcor” or the “Company”) (TSX: SCL) announced
today that it has secured an early exit from its leased facility,
which formerly housed the Company’s FlexFlow operations, in
Calgary’s Oxford Airport Business Park. This exit will be completed
during the third quarter of 2022 and will result in net savings of
approximately $15 million over the course of the next seven years.
The Company’s Calgary-based activities will be consolidated into
its remaining 54th Avenue location. The Company will incur one-time
restructuring costs of approximately $2 million to execute this
transaction, which will be reflected in the second quarter
financial results. CBRE Group, Inc. served as the Company’s real
estate advisor in this transaction.
“This important transaction represents the next
step in our strategic drive for greater operational efficiency,
lower fixed costs and reduced energy consumption,” said Mike
Reeves, Shawcor’s President and CEO. “This move allows us to focus
our resources on core product lines and will provide meaningful
cost savings for several years to come. In addition, it serves to
further reduce our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions as we
progress toward our 2030 ambitions; and it is evidence of our
commitment to practical ESG initiatives that reduce our impact on
the environment and contribute positively to the world.”
