Chairman, John Kennair, said

"2007 was another successful year for PowerGlaz, our photovoltaic glass product. PowerGlaz has developed a strong reputation and growing foothold in the solar energy market, which has led to sales growth of 40% in the last 12 months.

The installation of our second PowerGlaz production line has allowed us to expand our customer base and we anticipate further strong sales growth looking forward. Following the successful raising of £7.3m in July, we have ordered two further production lines that will increase our capacity from 12MW to 28MW per year.

While our traditional products of security, transport and architectural glass remain a key element to the business, we foresee future growth to be predominantly driven by the PowerGlaz range."
