Building our business for the future is the essence of our strategy, so I am particularly pleased to note the formation of the Victrex/Ballard Ionomer Alliance to develop and manufacture ionomers for use in membranes for Ballard (R) fuel cells. This exciting alliance greatly enhances the prospects for the membrane materials that we have developed and leverages Victrex's skill in manufacturing with Ballard's fuel cell expertise. We look forward to a mutually beneficial long-term relationship.' - End - Enquiries Victrex plc 0207 357 9477 (23 January 2001) 01253 897700 (thereafter) David Hummel, Chief Executive Michael Peacock, Finance Director Hogarth Partnership Limited 0207 357 9477 Nick Denton / Nick Lockwood
