UK: Kingspan has reported that its revenue rose by 47% year-on-year to Euro2.77bn in 2015 from Euro1.89bn in 2014. Its profit after tax rose by 79% to Euro191m from Euro107m. It attributed the result to ‘strong’ organic growth in the UK, North America, Turkey and the Middle East, more than offsetting losses in some European markets and in Australasia.
“We are delighted to report a record performance for the group in 2015 and a strong start to 2016. The two major acquisitions completed last year have performed ahead of our expectations, with Joris Ide and Vicwest significantly expanding our presence in Continental Europe and North America respectively,” said Gene Murtagh, Chief Executive of Kingspan.
