Kingspan Group Plc is issuing this trading statement for the six months ending
30th June 2004 in advance of its interim results for the half year which are due
to be announced on the 7th September 2004.

The rate of organic led growth in all of the Group's main products, in all of
its targeted geographical markets, is ahead of the same period last year and
ahead of market expectations. This is on the back of construction markets in
Britain and Ireland that are performing stronger than had been expected. The
other markets in which the Group operates are in line with expectations.

Going forward the Group has the benefit of additional manufacturing capacity as
a result of substantial capital investment across all product sectors.

Eugene Murtagh
Chairman
