Under  the five year agreement, the Group will invest £3-4m in new equipment and
capabilities  for its Poynton facility, with supplies scheduled to commence from
early  in API's next  financial year (starting  April 2012). Additional revenues
associated  with the investment are expected to be  in the range of £15m to £20m
per  annum, providing a step change in the level and security of earnings in the
Laminates segment.
