Zotefoams plc ("Zotefoams" or "the Company")
Trading Update
Zotefoams plc announces its trading update for the six months ending 30 June 2008.
In line with comments made in its AGM statement on 8th May 2008, the Company has experienced a strong first half in both sales and profits.
In Polyolefin foams, we have experienced strong overall sales growth enhanced by the strength of the Euro over the period.
In our emerging High-Performance Polymers (HPP) segment sales are below levels experienced at this point last year. We have been notified by Technifab Inc., one of our customers, that the planned start date of their aviation window gasket application has been delayed, otherwise the HPP business continues to progress. Although timing of revenues remains difficult to predict, the Company is confident that the growth prospects from this segment are very exciting.
Overall, Zotefoams is trading well and the Board remains confident of the Company's future prospects.
The Company will announce its interim results on Tuesday 5 August 2008.
