AGM STATEMENT
The trading environment for the current year to date has proved to be more
difficult than expected. Order intake in the first quarter remained at the
subdued levels experienced in the second half of last year. However, despite
some delays, we believe that increased project activity should lead to
improving levels of order intake for the remainder of the year.
The weakness of the Euro against the pound is a hindrance to a UK based
exporter both within the Euro based market and elsewhere. To mitigate this
your company is achieving cost reductions and efficiencies, especially in the
important area of component procurement where high quality overseas suppliers
are coming on stream.
The next generation of our core IQ product, which has been launched and will
be produced from August, has incorporated a number of innovative customer
features while meeting exacting cost targets. New product development and the
acquisition of relevant actuator lines are important activities to achieve
growth and maximize the benefits of our specialised worldwide sales and
marketing network. Rotork continues to invest in its international marketing
reach. The new operation in Shanghai has been set up to allow us to expand
our services and better co-ordinate our selling operations in this important
marketplace.
