Haynes has reported an "encouraging start to the financial year", with sales in the UK and Europe up 8% in the 13 weeks to 28 August. But its US sales have continued to "fall short".
Revenue in the UK was ahead by 10% helped by strong sales in the general publishing division, which ended the 13 week period 19% ahead of last year while revenue from its automotive manuals tracked in line with last year.
In the US, market conditions remain largely unchanged from that reported at the year-end, Haynes said, with customer replenishment orders continuing to fall short of their own sales levels. As a result, US revenue in sterling ended the 13 weeks 6% down on the same period last year.
