Trading Statement

Porvair PLC
10 December 2007


For immediate release 10 December 2007



                     Porvair plc ('Porvair' or 'The Group')

                                 Trading Update



Porvair, the specialist filtration and environmental technologies group, today
issues a trading update for the year ended 30 November 2007.

The Group has performed well and results are anticipated to be marginally ahead
of management's expectations, despite the weak dollar holding back what would
otherwise have been stronger revenue and profits growth. Metals filtration has
had a record sales year and, following the successful restructuring earlier in
the year, has experienced a strong recovery in profitability. Microfiltration's
aerospace business has again delivered a robust performance.

Current order books are healthy and several of the Company's key growth projects 
have progressed to the point where they will contribute to Group profits in 2008.

The Company will be announcing its preliminary results for the year ended 30 
November 2007 on Tuesday, 29 January 2008.

An analyst briefing will be held at 10.00 am at Buchanan Communications, 45 
Moorfields, London, EC2Y 9AE on Tuesday, 29 January 2008.
