Flowtech Fluidpower plc (LSE:FLO) has issued a trading update for the first half of 2025, reporting a 2.1% year-on-year increase in revenue despite ongoing challenges in the industrial sector. The company managed to enhance its gross margins and maintain disciplined cost controls, which helped mitigate market pressures.

Recent acquisitions—including Thorite, Allswage, and Thomas Group—have positively contributed to the company’s performance, bolstering its customer base and expanding capabilities. Flowtech also highlighted a strengthened sales pipeline and the signing of new strategic supplier agreements, which are expected to support growth in the second half of the year.

In addition, the company continues to invest in its digital transformation strategy, with new e-commerce platforms being rolled out to improve accessibility and service, reinforcing its position in the fluid power market.

While Flowtech’s current financial metrics and valuation remain subdued, recent corporate developments provide a more optimistic outlook. Technical indicators point to bearish sentiment, prompting a cautious approach from investors. However, the company’s strategic actions suggest potential for long-term improvement.
