Polycasa
Plastic sheet manufacturer, Polycasa, says the UK shop-fitting market and European leisure transport markets have been key drivers of business in the first few months of the year.
Since rebranding in October 2013, the company, which operates from several countries across the continent, says its early figures show promising results.
"We are very satisfied with the start to 2014. Volume is up eight percent on last year and is strong in many products, across many markets. In fact, it's our best start since 2008. This will hopefully give us good foundations for a strong recovery. We're very excited about this year and next,” said Peter Kelly, Special Projects Director.
Polycasa says there is promising signs within the European market as a whole, with UK shop fitting very healthy in the first three months, caravan and motor-home manufacturing across the Continent has grown (for which Polycasa provides the window sheet), and industrial companies showing confidence across all applications.
The company says demand has been evident across the board, most notably from two major names in the automotive and home electronics industries. These companies worked closely with Polycasa to devise new mixes, sizes and finishes on special pan-European projects to ensure brand integrity was maintained.
