Chairman Keith Butler-Wheelhouse said: “Chamberlin made important strategic and operational progress over the year, which will help to support a significant new phase of growth. We have further developed Chamberlin’s product offering with a significant investment in a machining facility in Walsall.
“Opened in the final quarter of the financial year, it improves our competitive positioning and will support further growth over the new financial year. It also underlines our ability to deliver a world-class product at a globally competitive cost.”
