Trifast - Encouraging momentum into FY19

Trifast’s pre-close trading update indicates another strong year of execution of the company’s well-developed growth strategy. The profit before tax for FY18 is slightly ahead of management expectations, with investment continuing to support growth. A strong order pipeline at the year-end serves to underpin confidence in continued organic progression. The acquisition of Precision Technology Supplies (PTS) in the UK on 4 April 2018 should also make a full-year earnings enhancing contribution, and we have raised our forecasts for FY19 accordingly.
