                          CARCLO PLC
                               
                   CHAIRMAN'S AGM STATEMENT




The  following  statement  was made  to  shareholders  at  the
company's Annual General Meeting today:

'Trading  in  the first few months has been in line  with  our
expectations.   Growth  in   Teletronics  and  a  recovery  in
Card    Clothing   are    compensating  for    more  difficult 
conditions in automotive markets.

With  new  capacity in the USA coming on-stream in the  second
half, we look forward to continuing underlying growth.'
