The ยฃ34.5 million US sealing plant made an operating loss ofยฃ16 million, with the start up losses further compounded by problems in obtaining raw materials from local sources. The group expects the US sealing business to make a further loss this year before moving into profit in the final quarter.
The pre-tax profits of ยฃ23.7 million also included an exceptional charge of ยฃ14.3 million for the restructuring costs of its German sealing operations, which resulted in the loss of 350 jobs. However, it is expected to produce ยฃ5 million in annual savings for the group.
