Kingspan, a major manufacturer of an integrated range of products for the
construction industry, announces the following statement from the Group Chairman
Eugene Murtagh at today's Annual General Meeting:


'The Board is pleased to report that sales in the first four months of 2005 are
well ahead of the corresponding period in 2004.  This reflects strong underlying
volume growth across the main product groups and the ability to pass on raw
material price increases in a timely fashion.  It is anticipated that markets
will remain reasonably stable in the immediate future.


Against this background and as already outlined, the Group is confident that
operating profits and earnings per share for the year will be significantly
ahead of that achieved in 2004.
