- I-Tech AB (publ) (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: ITECH), a Sweden-based biotechnology company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Mölndal, develops, markets and sells Selektope, an organic, metal-free biocide serving as a key performance ingredient in marine antifouling coatings; the product targets barnacle larvae through a unique pharmacological mode of action that repels settlement on ship hulls at low concentrations of 0.1% w/w, thereby reducing fuel consumption, emissions and operational costs for vessel operators worldwide. Selektope integrates into antifouling paints for both newbuild vessels and dry-dockings, serving the cleantech sector and global marine paint industry through a scalable B2B model that outsources production to contract manufacturers while focusing internally on sales, R&D and regulatory approvals. The company operates internationally with expanding geographic reach supported by approvals in key markets and supplies major paint manufacturers. In November 2025, I-Tech signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Guangdong Havey Advanced Materials Technology Co., Ltd. to advance collaborative R&D on next-generation antifouling materials, including Selektope combined with biodegradable resin binders; the partnership, building on joint activities since 2024, explores a potential joint venture to commercialize sustainable coating ingredients that enhance performance and reduce environmental impact such as VOC emissions. Recent years also feature supply agreements with two new global paint companies in 2024 alongside nearly 50% year-over-year sales growth, a strong Q1 2025 performance with net sales up approximately 50% year-over-year, and accelerated business development with additional customer product launches expected in 2025.
