Keep breathing

Article Abstract:

Porvair performed well in the six years to 1996 but was hit by problems related to a US acquisition and a drop in orders in 1996. The company has a good position in growth markets due to its proprietary technology. Selee Corporation was acquired for 24 million pounds sterling and saw a drop in sales of 8% for 1998 but sales have since recovered. The group produces Porelle, used for clothing for bad weather, and Permair, employed in laminating underleather. Both products were affected by short-term problems in 1996.

Focus on the rough stuff should pay off

Article Abstract:

Carbo has sold non-core activities, to focus on abrasives, and should be able to make acquisitions with the funds raised. The company has faced difficult trading conditions, though this is changing. Carbo is benefiting from the acquisitions of BMA, an abrasives company from Italy to where some production is being transferred. The company could achieve a profit of 1.2 million pounds sterling for 2000, according to Hardman and Co. Carbo is a possoble bid target.
