Avon reports strong sales in second half

ERJ staff report (DS)

Melksham, UK - Avon Rubber plc said trading in the second half of the financial year was, as expected, stronger than in the first half. The Board is confident that the Group's full year results for the year ended 30 September 2012 will be in line with current market expectations.

Chief Executive Peter Slabbert commented, "We continue to invest in innovative new products in both Protection & Defence and Dairy and believe that these industry leading technologies will deliver revenue growth and higher margins in the future. The uncertain economic climate will present challenges in the coming year but I am confident that both sides of Avon's business are well positioned to make further progress in 2013."

Preliminary results will be announced on 21 November 2012.
