Tekmar Group (AIM: TGP), a market-leading technology provider of protection systems for subsea cable, umbilical and flexible pipes and offshore engineering services, is pleased to announce that Tekmar Energy Limited ("Tekmar Energy") has today secured the Group's largest contract win to date for the supply of  its flagship cable protection system product, TEKLINK®, to one of the world's largest offshore wind farm developments.

The contract, which is for execution and revenue recognition primarily in the current financial year ending 31 March 2020 ("FY20"), is worth no less than £5 million.

James Ritchie, CEO of Tekmar Group, said: 

"We are delighted that Tekmar Energy has been chosen, once again, to supply product for a major offshore wind development. The award reflects the value proposition that our technology offers and the confidence the industry has in our products and our ability to deliver large scopes of work.
