Victrex PLC - Lancashire, England-based speciality chemicals firm - Says it is seeing continuing strong growth in the third quarter, ended June 30, with revenue up 16% year-on-year to £93.4 million from £80.7 million. Group volume in the third quarter was up 10% to 1,323 tonnes from 1,202 tonnes.
Year to date revenue up 9% to £253.5 million, while volumes increase 9% to 3,586 tonnes.
Jakob Sigurdsson, chief executive, says: ‘This is another strong performance by Victrex, with a healthy core business, good growth in new applications and further milestones in our mega-programmes, particularly in Medical as we look for this business to become a larger part of our long-term revenues.
‘Despite our sales mix, where VAR, Electronics and Energy & Industrial drove most of the volume growth, we are starting to see the benefit of price increases to help recover the unprecedented increase in energy and raw material costs.’
