Source: Official company announcement�
Date: October 27, 2026, 5:52 p.m.
Desert Control announced a far-reaching restructuring yesterday evening.
The most significant changes:
Closure of the Norwegian facility in Stavanger.
Departure of the former U.S. managing director, Marty Weems.
Reorganization of operational responsibilities in the U.S.
Focus on agriculture and lawns in the American Southwest.
Reduction in monthly operating expenses by approximately 30% after one-time restructuring costs.
Particularly critical is management’s rationale: The broad commercial rollout of Liquid Natural Clay continues to proceed more slowly than expected.
The company emphasizes that all customer-related and scientific expertise will be retained. Further information is scheduled to be announced on November 19. �

The restructuring is both a necessary countermeasure and another warning sign.
The cost cuts could significantly extend the liquidity runway. However, management has once again confirmed problems with commercialization.
Following the revenue forecast that was already withdrawn on October 7, the fundamental risk situation is thus worsening.
