("Avingtrans" or "The Group")
Trading update and notice of interim results
Avingtrans PLC (AIM: AVG), the international engineering group, which designs, manufactures and supplies original equipment, systems and associated aftermarket services to the energy and medical sectors, is pleased to announce it has continued to perform well in the first half of the financial year and is trading in line with market expectations.
The order and prospect pipeline remains robust. Recent notable orders secured include:
·; A £2m order for Hayward Tyler China, for pumps to be installed at a major new concentrated solar power plant in Dubai - an important foothold in this growing renewable energy sector and the biggest order to date for HT in China.
·; A record £1m order for Fluid Handling, Scotland, from Sellafield Limited, for remote maintenance valves, to be used on nuclear waste reprocessing equipment.
·; A £2m order for Peter Brotherhood, for additional steam turbines in the defence market, as part of a long-standing framework agreement.
The recent acquisitions of Booth and Energy Steel (both completed in June 2019) are responding to their Avingtrans recovery programmes well and are integrating as anticipated, with strong order books already secured and healthy prospect pipelines. With the support and guidance of the Group, these two businesses have been experiencing steadily improving performance trends, as they recuperate from previously constrained positions.
The Group will publish its results for the six months ended 30 November 2019 on Wednesday 26 February 2020.
The management team will be hosting a presentation for analysts on the day of results at 9:30am at the offices of Newgate Communications, Sky Light City Tower, 50 Basinghall Street, London EC2V 5DE.
