Symphony Plastic Technologies plc
Annual General Meeting Statement
Today at the Annual General Meeting of Symphony Plastic Technologies plc
('Symphony'), Nirj Deva, Chairman, will make the following statement to
shareholders:
'The Board believes that Symphony has now started to turn the corner following
the successful defence of the legal challenge to our core business and
technology as well as continuing positive developments in the global markets for
our d2w plastic technology as generally reported on the 15th June 2006.
2005 was a challenging year but also a year of evolution in which a new and more
exciting strategy was implemented. We are becoming a more flexible business,
operating on lower cost and higher operating margins. It is no longer our main
focus to compete against the finished product suppliers and our new strategy
allows us to work in harmony with them.
The positive impact of this new strategy will begin to be reflected in the
results in the second half of 2006 and thereafter.
With many of the major distractions and problems of the past few years behind us
we are now in a position to develop all areas of the business, such as corporate
governance, unhindered. Further statements on these will be made in due course.
We look forward to exciting times ahead for 2006 and 2007'.
