Oressa Ltd. filed an F-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its initial public offering (IPO). No terms were given in the filing, but the offering is valued up to $100 million. The company intends to list on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol ORES.

With approximately 1,300 customers across more than 70 countries, the company sells its products to a diverse range of multi-national companies, large national and regional companies, and small local businesses.
