Zotefoams has just delivered a strong trading update for Q3 (ended 30 Sept 2025) showing that the business continues to trade in-line with expectations and maintain positive momentum. Reported revenue came in at £38.2m, essentially holding up against a tough prior‐year comparable. On a year-to-date basis, group revenue is up 5% to £115.7m, or 7% on a constant-currency basis.
The region breakdown gives real insight: EMEA +7% YTD, driven by strong Consumer & Lifestyle and Construction & Industrial growth; North America in line overall, though Transport & Smart Technologies in NA is up ~16% YTD; Asia remains small but growing and the upcoming Vietnam facility is a strategic plus.
The strategic moves are also impressive — appointment of a former Nike Asia exec to head up Asian operations, a joint‐venture in Vietnam with Seoheung Co. Ltd. for footwear manufacturing, and a new innovation hub in South Korea. These are not just line items — they point to Zotefoams building competitive advantage for the next phase of growth.
For investors, ZTF looks like a play that can deliver steady growth, margin resilience, and strategy execution. Full-year guidance remains for mid-single-digit growth, and the board remains confident given the good visibility of order books across most business units.

Zotefoams isn’t flashing wild upside overnight, but it checks a lot of right boxes: resilient revenue growth, strategic footprint expansion, and a credible plan for the future.
