LONDON and PARIS, Nov. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- newcleo plc (“newcleo” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: NWCL), a pioneer in advanced modular reactor (“AMR”) technology and nuclear fuel manufacturing, today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Bonifait Pesage, a French maker of nuclear-grade scales and precision weighing equipment that serves high profile customers across the French nuclear sector.
The deal extends the vertical integration approach newcleo has pursued since 2023, when it acquired Fucina, SRS and Rütschi. The acquisition of Bonifait Pesage brings another specialist supplier under the newcleo umbrella ahead of development of the Company’s planned mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel manufacturing facilities in the United States and Europe, where nuclear-grade weighing equipment will support the tracking and control of nuclear materials. Through the acquisition of Bonifait Pesage, newcleo gains preferred access to specialized precision weighing equipment, lowers its supply-chain exposure and can tailor equipment to its own requirements.
