First Brands Group debt targeted by Apollo Global Management - report
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario - Cymat Technologies Ltd. (TSXV:CYM) (OTCQB:CYMHF), a small-cap company with a market capitalization of $38 million, announced Monday it has entered into a partnership agreement with an unnamed global Tier 1 automotive parts manufacturer to design and produce lightweight, energy-absorbing components for the automotive industry. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has shown significant momentum, gaining over 41% in the past six months.
The agreement will enable Cymat to overcome manufacturing limitations in assembling complex stabilized aluminum foam (SAF) components. While Cymat has the capability to produce the SAF elements, it lacks facilities to assemble complex SAF-filled aluminum parts. The company maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 4.84, suggesting adequate resources to support manufacturing expansion.
The partnership includes both design collaboration and manufacturing of components, starting with a new part being developed in response to a request for information from a global automotive manufacturer. Cymat is working with its design partner, Tesseract Structural Innovations, Inc., on this project.
"We are excited to be partnered with this major auto parts manufacturer as it completes the last piece of the puzzle needed to secure automotive contracts," said Michael Liik, Cymat’s CEO and Chairman, in the press release statement.
Cymat specializes in producing SAF, a lightweight cellular metallic material with applications in architectural design, military, and automotive industries. The company markets its products under the Alusion and SmartMetal brands.
The partnership potentially opens doors to new automotive manufacturers, as the Tier 1 partner already supplies numerous automotive OEMs worldwide. InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is currently trading at Fair Value, with additional insights available through their comprehensive financial analysis platform.

In other recent news, Cymat Technologies Ltd. has announced a significant development regarding its business operations. The company has entered into a Letter of Intent with Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. to acquire technology and customer relationships for manufacturing aluminum metal matrix composites (MMC). This proprietary MMC, which includes ceramic particle-infused aluminum, has been utilized in the automotive and rail industries for lightweight, wear-resistant components. Rio Tinto Alcan has been producing this material for over four decades but is now exiting the business as part of a strategic reorganization. This acquisition could potentially expand Cymat’s capabilities and market reach in the MMC sector. While financial details of the transaction have not been disclosed, the move reflects Cymat’s strategic efforts to enhance its product offerings. The acquisition is still subject to final negotiations and regulatory approvals. This development marks a notable step in Cymat’s growth trajectory.
