DCC plc, the parent company of Exertis, has announced it will sell the top-tier distributor as part of a new strategic direction focusing on the energy sector.

DCC aims to streamline its portfolio to capitalise on growth opportunities in energy. This announcement was made by DCC Chief Executive Donal Murphy during the company’s interim results presentation. The company plans to simplify its structure and concentrate on sectors it believes hold the most growth potential. While DCC will continue supporting the Technology division financially, it intends to identify a strategic partner to ensure a smooth transition.
