Addressing the company’s AGM today (25 September), chairman David Williams said that, with sales up 10% year-on-year, Zetar anticipates profits for this year to be ahead of last year.
However, he warned, the challenging trading environment made the company’s results difficult to forecast.
“Given the current challenging trading environment, together with the volatility in foreign exchange rates, raw material input prices and energy prices, we anticipate there will be pressure on margins. This makes the outturn for the current financial year difficult to predict at this stage,” Williams said.
