              THE ALUMASC GROUP PLC - INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

                       "Alumasc has made a strong start"

Alumasc (ALU.L), the premium building and engineering products company, is
holding its Annual General Meeting at 10.30am today and is publishing its first
Interim Management Statement, as required by the UK Listing Authority's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules, in relation to the year ending 30 June 2008.

* Benefiting from the rising order books reported in September's Preliminary
Announcement, Alumasc has made a strong start to the current financial year.
Revenues from continuing operations in the first quarter to 30 September 2007
increased by 25% to over £30 million with profits also well ahead, driven by
further growth in the Building Products division, including a good first-quarter
performance from Levolux.

* On a like-for-like basis, excluding Levolux (the UK's leading supplier of
solar shading systems acquired on 1 May), group revenues from continuing
operations increased by approximately 7%.

* Building Products' divisional revenues increased by over 50% to £21 million.
Excluding Levolux, divisional revenues grew by almost 20%, driven by a strong
start to the year in the rainwater and drainage businesses, particularly
Slotdrain, and early signs of an improvement in demand for MR Facade systems
which are sold into the social housing refurbishment sector.

* Engineering Products' divisional revenues from continuing operations reduced
by 15% to £9.8 million, reflecting the expected slower start to the year at
Alumasc Precision prior to the new projects with Aston Martin, Deutz and
Caterpillar coming fully on-stream. This division's performance will also
benefit from the efficiency improvement programme currently under way.

* The sale of Brock is now fully complete with all sales proceeds received as
anticipated at the year end. The former Copal warehouse in Birmingham was sold
in September, as expected, for its book value of £0.7 million.

* Group net debt reduced to £11.1 million (30 June 2007: £12.9 million), in line
with the strong trading performance.

John McCall, Chairman, commented: "Alumasc has performed well in the first
quarter, particularly in the Building Products division. Levolux has continued
its good start within the group and it is reassuring to see early signs of an
improvement in social housing demand. Whilst it is too early to judge whether
higher interest rates and the recent turbulence in financial markets will affect
economic activity later in the year, order books currently remain strong."
