Quite a read that article C.R. which just shows the growth potential here. I have added on the dip today it's just a no brainer with a cracking dividend. Bottom drawer for posterity.

OF DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

LONDON (Dow Jones)-- Premium building and engineering products group, Alumasc Group PLC (ALU.LN), said Thursday it continues to see major interest in a number of its brands in the U.S., due to a strong focus on energy efficiency programs promoted by President Obama.
In an interview with Dow Jones Newswires, Chief Executive Paul Hooper said its Levolux solar shading systems have become very popular in North America, with specifications for projects almost doubling in value over the last six months to around $5.0 million, and orders of $0.3 million won in January alone.
This rise is partly due to the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design, or LEED, program--a scheme championed by the U.S. president to improve energy efficiency in all federal buildings. The program acts as a green building certification system, developed by the U.S. green building council and encourages the use of sustainable energy efficient materials to ultimately reduce national energy consumption.
Hooper added Alumasc's entry into the U.S. market has been very timely and it aims to take advantage of the current focus on energy saving. The company has moved manufacture of a number of its products to the U.S. to reduce costs and believes it will continue to see strong interest for the foreseeable future. He added, that its water drainage brand, Gatic Slotdrain, has also recently won its first order to supply an airport in the U.S.
The product engineering group said it has also seen increased interest from China and the Far East. Hooper said the company has recently signed a significant partnership with a major diesel engine manufacturer. He was unable to provide specific financial details on the deal but stated that the company was likely to see the financial benefits of the deal in the next financial year.
He said the company continues to see interest from the Middle East, with its solar shading systems in use at the Abu Dhabi football stadium and Bloomberg's building in Dubai. He added the company expects to see increased activity in the region due to the coming 2020 Fifa World Cup finals which are to be held in neighboring Qatar.

Agree - H2 by far the seasonaly stroger half too - with precission growin this fast and Caterpillar contract only really kicking in in H2 it should be a storminh half imo.

If momentum continues we could see 5 million pbt for the year with a m/cap of 50. I believe that to be cheap going forward and £2 to be realistic.

[chester] 03/2/2011 07:58

147p is a short term resistance but also a long term resistance. Through there and thats going to be great support.

[cockneyrebel] 03/2/2011 07:40

Agree battlebus - goes xd for the interim div early March (3rd approx)

[bigbigdave] 03/2/2011 07:38

Great stuff, wish I had a few more of these.

[battlebus2] 03/2/2011 07:37

Worth waiting for C.R. A great set of results. Order book at 42 million 60% higher than low point last year. EPS up 13%. Precision going really well with h1 revenues up 80% and continuing into h2 with what i believe is the caterpillar contract.

[cockneyrebel] 03/2/2011 07:34

Well the divi maintained despite some saying it wouldn't be.

Precission engineering which the co is moving more and more towards is going like the clappers, and as they only just won the Caterpillar contract in Oct they haven't hardly started dekivering products in these results. h2 should be stonking for precission imo.

You get 10p divi back here over the next 7 months too and it's ISAable.
