Trading Update
Chamberlin, the specialist castings and engineering group, is pleased to announce an update on trading for the financial year to 31 March 2017.
Results for the year are expected to be in line current market forecasts, with a strengthened performance in the second half. In particular, underlying profitability will be ahead of the prior year.

The outlook for Chamberlin's continuing progress remains very positive and the Board looks forward to providing a further update on trading towards the end of May 2017 with the publication of the Company's preliminary results.
