Victrex Sees Strong Volume Growth Amid Operational Challenges

Victrex ( (GB:VCT) ) has issued an announcement.

Victrex reported a 16% increase in sales volumes for the first half of 2025, driven by strong performance in its Sustainable Solutions segment, despite challenges in the medical sector and currency headwinds. The company has upgraded its full-year volume guidance to high-single-digit growth, supported by operational improvements and strategic initiatives like Project Vista. However, underlying profit before tax was impacted by foreign exchange, sales mix, and operational challenges in China. Victrex remains focused on driving profitability and growth through cost control and enhanced market strategies, while also achieving a major milestone with its ‘Magma’ mega-programme in the energy industry.
