Chief Executive’s Statement
The Group continues to grow in the majority of sectors in which we operate.
We are focused on our two key growth drivers within the heat transfer and thermal fluid market:
Portfolio
Our aim is to maximise business opportunities from our existing portfolio – the Globaltherm® range – and our fluid condition monitoring and management service Thermocare® – with a strong brand proposition in our key sectors : industrial manufacturing, food, chemical processing and speciality chemicals, plastics, polymer and styrene, pharmaceutical, solar and biomass.
The launch of the Thermocare® lifecycle management plans (Essential, Optimum and Ultimate) continues to contribute to the success of our company, for which we gained recognition from Keele University in the category of Science, Technology and Innovation and a Queen’s Award for Enterprise.
The launch of our concentrated solar power (CSP) products Globaltherm® Omnipure and Omnistore has also contributed to our success with key sales in overseas markets. Additionally, we have extended our premium high temperature range to include Globaltherm HF® (high flashpoint product heat transfer fluid), Globaltherm EXS (non-flammable heat transfer fluid) and Globaltherm MXT a highly resilient mineral based heat transfer fluid with a unique blend of additives formulated to extend fluid life.
