We believe this is an important step in enhancing Pressfit's credibility as a manufacturer, both locally and internationally, as well as providing liquidity for existing investors and a basis for establishing a value for the Company's potential.

"In the last 12 months, Pressfit has received additional investment and signed a sizeable distribution agreement, which we believe will drive growth over the next couple of years. The admission to AIM should help facilitate Pressfit's expansion and further its ambition of becoming a major international company and we intend to remain long-term investors in Pressfit."
