Ondo InsurTech Plc
("Ondo" or "the Company")
Factory Capacity Increased in Anticipation of U.S. Demand
Ondo InsurTech plc (LSE: ONDO), a leading company in claims prevention technology for home insurers is pleased to announce that it has increased production capacity at its UK contract manufacturing facility in light of significant increasing demand for LeakBot, across the Company's key markets but in particular in the United States.
As previously announced, the Company is in discussions with a number of large US insurance companies regarding new contract opportunities and significant expansions of existing partnerships. These negotiations are now at an advanced stage and the Company anticipates that further details will be announced shortly.
Ondo has agreed to make further capital investment in a second dedicated production line at its manufacturing partner, Asteelflash in Bedford, England. This investment will increase the current production capacity at the facility from 10,000 to 40,000 units per month. The Board believes that this will provide sufficient headroom to accommodate the planned increase in demand from the United States.
Craig Foster, Ondo CEO said "It is great news that the UK facility will now be able to meet a significant increase in demand. Coming announcements about our partner-led U.S. expansion will clearly demonstrate why now is the right time add the second production line at Asteelflash".
