FLSmidth sells its Air Pollution Control business to Rubicon Partners
PRESS RELEASE
30 June 2025
Copenhagen, Denmark
Today, FLSmidth announces that it has entered into an agreement to divest its Air Pollution Control (APC) business to Rubicon Partners, a UK-based investment partnership focused on the acquisition of complex industrial businesses. The transaction is expected to close during the second half of 2025 and includes all related assets, including intellectual property, technology, employees and order backlog.
The divestment of the APC business follows the recent announcement of the divestment of the Cement business (ref. Company Announcement no. 10-2025). In connection with this, it was announced that FLSmidth retained the APC business as it was running its own separate divestment process. Since 2020, FLSmidth has gradually divested businesses related to air pollution control, and today's announcement concludes this entire process.
Upon closing of the transaction, FLSmidth expects to realise a small net gain from the divestment of the APC business, which will be recognised under discontinued operations.
The transaction does not change FLSmidth's previously communicated financial guidance for the full year 2025 (ref. Company Announcement no. 10-2025).

Airlines warned about rising threat of 'nightmare scenario'
Airlines are being warned about a rising threat in the skies. Hampshire-based companies Barnbrook Systems and Flair are in talks with major international carriers about E:BAG, a new product designed to contain and suppress fires caused by lithium-ion batteries in passenger devices such as phones, vapes and power banks. Andrew Barnett, managing director of Barnbrook Systems, said: "A fire at 35,000 feet which won't go out is a nightmare scenario. "There has been an increasing number of incidents involving lithium-ion batteries whether in the home, in public, business settings or on transport. An E:BAG being used to contain and supress a mobile phone fire started by its lithium-ion battery (Image: Deep South Media) "As the summer getaway gets in full swing, there will be fuller flights with greater potential for fires from devices with lithium-ion batteries. "We have been in talks with major international carriers about the issue and how E:BAG can support their risk management and safety protocols. "It allows cabin crew to act quickly, easily and safely to deal with suspect and burning devices while providing peace of mind for passengers and crew alike." Barnbrook Systems managing director Andrew Barnett (Image: Deep South Media) The E:BAG is a fire-resistant satchel made from smart material and nano-technology. It requires no water or fire extinguishers and contains a heat-sensitive powder that activates when a burning device is placed inside, suppressing and extinguishing the fire. The bags come in 15L, 30L and 45L sizes to accommodate different devices and can be equipped with Barnbrook's BlueCube remote sensing technology. The need for such technology is growing as lithium-ion battery fires become more common. In early June, a China Southern Airlines flight was forced to return to the airport after take-off when a power bank exploded. In January, a similar device caused a fire that destroyed an Air Busan passenger plane in South Korea. More information about E:BAG is available at The UK Civil Aviation Authority reported that 276 million passengers passed through UK airports in 2023, a 23 per cent increase on 2022. National Air Traffic Services (NATS) recorded 210,085 flights in April 2025, up 4.2 per cent from the previous year. Barnbrook Systems is based in Fareham, while Flair operates out of the same location and has its headquarters in Reading.

Motor racing-F1 talks up Silverstone's 'forever' future before Starmer meeting
By Alan Baldwin LONDON (Reuters) -Silverstone circuit could stay on the Formula One calendar forever with no real rival to host the British Grand Prix, the sport's chief executive Stefano Domenicali said on Tuesday ahead of this weekend's race. The Italian told reporters he could not imagine a championship without Britain, home to seven of the 10 teams, but there was also no chance of the country having more than one race. "I do believe that... Silverstone has the right characteristics to stay forever in the calendar," said Domenicali, who will visit Downing Street on Wednesday with some drivers and team bosses to meet Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "There's no other places where you can develop such a huge event in the UK. I don't see any other places, to be honest." Silverstone hosted the first world championship race in 1950 and has a contract until 2034. Last year it hosted the biggest crowd of any event on the calendar with 480,000 spectators. Miami and Austria's Red Bull Ring have the longest deals, both running to 2041, and Domenicali saw no reason why Silverstone could not join them although the circuit management had yet to seek an extension. The meeting at Downing Street is billed as an informal celebration of the 75th anniversary of the first F1 championship race at Silverstone, but it is also a chance to raise issues the sport wants addressed. Domenicali said he would highlight how much the "F1 ecosystem" contributes to Britain as the beating heart of a global sport, and the risk of losing that primacy due to restrictions on staff and movement. Formula One figures calculate the sport brings 12 billion pounds ($16.48 billion) annually to the UK economy with 6,000 people directly employed and a further 41,000 working in a supply chain of 4,500 companies. The Italian said visa issues post-Brexit had affected the deployment of staff from race to race around Europe, while costly and time-consuming paperwork had complicated logistics and made it harder to draw up the race calendar. "It is impossible to think in the short term that the teams will move out from the UK because of this limitation but the teams will organise themselves maybe in a different way," he warned. "What we are asking is not to change the decision that your country has taken, because it's not our mandate and our role, but to facilitate things that are having a burden on the economical side. "And also in terms of possibility to be, as a country, more attractive for keeping the central part of F1 in this country."
