Canatu Plc, a company specializing in advanced carbon nanotubes (CNTs), has restructured its leadership team to enhance operational efficiency and strengthen organizational execution. The company has also renamed its Automotive business unit to Robotics, Mobility and Defence, aligning with its current focus and activities. These changes are effective immediately.

These organizational changes will not impact Canatu’s financial reporting.
