Fenner 'well placed to capitalise on growth chances'
MANUFACTURING: Fenner has reported trading in line with expectations following strong demand from the North American coal industry.

These are reported to have performed well, "and their contribution has partially offset the effects of the channel de-stocking experienced elsewhere in AEP," Fenner said.
The firm said it remained mindful of global economic uncertainty, but it remained "well placed to capitalise on the long-term growth opportunities in our core markets."
