Macfarlane Group Optimistic Despite Slow Start

Macfarlane Group plc (GB:MACF) has released an update.

Macfarlane Group PLC has reported a challenging start to 2024, with a decrease in first-quarter sales and profits compared to the previous year, attributed to weak customer demand and price deflation. However, the company remains optimistic about meeting its full-year expectations due to a strong new business pipeline, expected sales recovery, and the recent acquisition of Allpack Packaging Supplies Limited. Financial stability is highlighted by an improved net bank fund position and well-managed bank facilities.
