Exports to the US are unaffected and the quality of customer relations with our largest importer into the US have ensured the sales volumes remain stable. The Group is in the process of integrating its recent acquisition of the business and assets of Romar Process Engineering Limited with Time Rainham Limited which is expected to generate further operating efficiencies.
