RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Our product development efforts have continued in both divisions. In Protection & Defence we have received NIOSH (US) and CE (European) product approvals for our FM53 mask. In the second half of the year we are scheduled to achieve CE approvals for our ST53  multi-role breathing apparatus in both short and long-duration configurations and we expect to launch the first of our new range of powered air (PAPR) products.

 

In Dairy we have launched a new concept vented liner and have started to expand our product range under the Milk-Rite brand beyond liners and tubing into non rubber goods such as pulsators and claws.

 

We expect to see the benefits of these efforts, which underpin the long term prosperity of the Group, in our 2011 financial year.
