AIM-traded oil and gas engineering services company Plexus (AIM: POS) is an IP-led company that has developed a range of products and applications based on its patent-protected POS-GRIP friction-grip technology. Having proved the superior qualities of POS-GRIP within the jack-up wellhead exploration market through the sale of this business to FMC Technologies Limited ("FMCT"), a subsidiary of TechnipFMC (Paris:FTI, NYSE:FTI), in early 2018, the Company is now focused on establishing its technology and equipment in other markets including surface production, subsea and de-commissioning. 

Its suite of new products and applications includes: the Python™ Subsea Wellhead (a new standard for subsea wellheads - supported by BG, Royal Dutch Shell, Wintershall, Maersk, Total, Tullow Oil, eni, Senergy, and Oil States Industries Inc); the POS-SET™ Connector for the growing de-commissioning and abandonment market; HP/HT dual marine barrier risers which provide an efficient, safe and cost effective solution for use on jack-up rigs; an innovative HP/HT Tie-Back connector product; and a new Well Tree product. Importantly, the Company has a Collaboration Agreement with TFMC, which provides a platform to seek to further develop and commercialise these and other applications utilising POS-GRIP technology.
