Article Abstract:
Pressac produces electronic parts, and has performed well over a five year period. The company has timed its acquisitions well, and the market has been growing. The company has also developed new products which has pushed up borrowings. The company has dealt with the rise in value of pound sterling through relocating manufacturing and hedging, but is still vulnerable due to the importance of overseas earnings. The economic crisis in Asia is also likely to affect Pressac.
