LONDON (SHARECAST) - Glass and plastics group Romag Holdings found friends Wednesday after reporting a 44% increase in full year pre-tax profit, driven by strong sales of its electricity-generating glass, PowerGlaz .

Profit before tax for the 12 months to 30 September jumped to £2.76m from £1.92m the year before on sales up 6% to £17.4m.

The group said the growth in sales of PowerGlaz dominated 2007, with the installation of a second production line in July helping sales jump 40% year on year. It is now accounts for over 40% of total business.

Since the year end, Romag has entered into a further cell supply agreement with Gintech Energy Corp, in addition to supply arrangements currently in place with E-Ton Solar and BP Solar.

“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,” said chairman John Kennair.

“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,” added the group.

Two further production lines have been ordered that will increase capacity from 12 megawatts (MW) to 28MW per year.

The dividend of 0.75p per share brings the total payout for the year to 1.15p per share, up 15% on 2006.

1. UAE demands eco-friendly construction projects

» more GITG news
Under the mandate of UAE Vice President & Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the need for eco-friendly products and methods has been a driving force between this partnership, as the demand for 'green' building solutions has already begun to skyrocket.

Romag's Sales Director, Keith Morrison, was enthusiastic about its partnership with GITG noting, 'We have been looking for a partnership in the Middle East for several years now and are most confident in building our relationship with GITG. Their enthusiasm and unique vision, supported by Romag's technical ability and quality products will prove to be a winning formula. This arrangement also supports Romag's growth strategy in a market where renewable energy and security are a priority.' When asked about growth in the region, Morrison added, 'With a partnering approach and patience, we see business growing at a rate that will benefit both parties in the medium term with limitless and long-term potential.'

GITG is the first eco-friendly distributor in the UAE. Since its inception, it has been recognized for its commitment to providing the Gulf and UAE with alternative construction products that protect and benefit the environment via energy efficient building solutions. The firm's partnership with Romag is a logical step in its growth, as Romag produces energy efficient glass, also known as PowerGlaz, with solar modules that can actually generate energy. These photovoltaic panels are unique in that they convert light into electricity thereby reducing power costs and CO2 emissions. Morrison highlighted that, 'Considering the 340+ days of sunlight enjoyed in the UAE, the amount of electricity generated throughout buildings that utilize Romag will go unprecedented. This is a perfect location to maximize the efficacy of our product.'

The initial cost of the solar installation is offset during construction and the electricity produced by PowerGlaz continues to lower electricity costs during the lifetime of the building.

The Energy Information Administration reports that energy consumption in the Middle East will increase by an estimated 2.3% per year between 2004 and 2030, while the total world energy consumption will only increase 1.6% per year for the same time period. There is indeed an urgency to develop sustainable buildings in the region that will rely on renewable energy sources.

GITG's CEO, Mr. Khalid Al Midfa elaborated on the need for a partnership with Romag stating, 'The recent mandate to 'go green' in addition to the high demand for glass, as it is used on just about every new building project in the region, has been a surefire reason to partner with Romag. Their emergence in the Middle Eastern marketplace is going to have a positive impact on eco-friendly initiatives and we are looking forward to the green footprint we'll be making together throughout the region.'

Electric introduction of BP Solar PowerGlaz

Last night London’s leading architects gathered at the Royal Opera House for the launch of PowerGlaz, a revolutionary laminated glass that incorporates solar cells. This unique British designed solar electric glass, which can be incorporated into the structure of a building to produce clean electricity, is to go on sale in the UK later this year and could revolutionise the use of renewable energy in building design.

Guest speaker Stephen Timms MP, UK Minister for Energy, told the audience that the government is keen to encourage the use of products that can be integrated into buildings, increasing energy efficiency and reducing emissions. Special guest Sir Ranulf Fiennes, the arctic explorer, also spoke of his first hand experience of the damaging effects of climate change and encouraged architects to introduce PowerGlaz into their building design.

Developed by BP Solar and Romag, a world leader in the manufacturer of specialised laminated glass, the joint-technology represents a significant leap forward in the evolution of solar technology. PowerGlaz creates, for the first time, a genuine building product that will be both economical and widely available to the architectural and construction sectors and help architects and developers meet the growing demand for sustainable, energy efficient buildings.

“After leaving Arup’s 6 years ago, to take up the challenge of making solar panels a standard in building design, my dreams are starting to come true” said Ray Noble BP Solar’s UK Sales Manager.

According to BP Solar and Romag, who have spent six years developing the product, PowerGlaz will be easy-to-install and serve the dual purpose of replacing conventional glazing materials while simultaneously harnessing energy from natural light to produce clean electricity.

PowerGlaz, which is essentially high performance solar electric cells laminated between glass panels, will also cut carbon dioxide emissions and provide a substantial percentage of the maximum power requirement of a building. From an architectural point of view, the new product will offer both striking design features and, by displacing the original building material, reduce the cost of introducing solar electric technology.

“We will begin mass production of PowerGlaz at the end of this month,” said Romag Sales Director Keith Morrison, “allowing solar electric technology to be used more widely and economically in the construction of buildings. By using the latest processing technology, we will be able to offer PowerGlaz in a range of sizes up to 3.3m x 2.2m. This will offer a wide choice to designers and architects. The product is simple for installers to manage and once installed is very low maintenance. It proves that our technologies are available to deliver practical and economical solar energy systems.”

At the same event, Marley Roofing launched its solar-powered roof tiles, which are aimed at the domestic market. The tiles are made of Romag's laminated glass and also incorporate BP Solar cells.

ROMAG HOLDINGS PLC
Interim results for the six months to 31 March 2009
Romag Holdings plc, a specialist manufacturer of glass and plastic composites for renewable
energy, security, transport and architectural applications is pleased to announce its interim results
for the six months to 31 March 2009.
27 May 2009
Highlights
 European solar market hit by economic recession - Romag PowerGlaz revenue down 11%
on last year
 Group revenue down 12% overall to £10.2m (2008 - £11.6m)
 Trading loss for the six months of £1.3m (2008 - profit £1.1m)
 £2.7m profit on disposal of currency hedging contracts
 Pre-tax profit up 18% to £1.1m (2008 - £0.90m)
 Earnings per share up 15% to 1.5p (2008 - 1.3p)
 Interim dividend passed (2008 - 0.43p per share)
 Bank facilities renewed
 PowerPark product launched to provide “green” electricity for recharging electric cars
JOHN M. KENNAIR, MBE, Chairman said:
“As a result of extremely difficult market conditions, trading in the first six months of the year has
been very challenging. In particular we have seen a marked decline in demand and pricing for our
PV products, in line with wider market trends. Management has acted decisively to control costs
with head count reduction and the renegotiation of supplier contracts, while ensuring the business is
well-positioned for the market pick up in the medium term.
In the longer term, a number of factors give reason for optimism. We are currently seeing a high
level of enquiries for projects expected to come to fruition in 2010/11, including a number in the
Middle East. Domestically, the UK government’s announcement that a feed-in tariff will be
introduced in April 2010, will provide further significant stimulus to solar PV in the UK. Furthermore,
we are very positive about the domestic and international prospects for the recently-launched
PowerPark products, and are delighted that we are able to announce an MOU with British Gas for
marketing, distribution and installation.
All these initiatives give good cause for a more positive outlook in the next financial year and
beyond.”

Minister: Embrace electric car market

8:44am Monday 22nd June 2009

comment Comments (0) Have your say »


NICK BROWN, Minister for the North-East, visited a glass company, which is developing technology that could be used in a future electric vehicle market, and again underlined the importance of the upcoming industry to the region.

Mr Brown was visiting Romag in Consett, County Durham, on Friday, to see a solar car parking canopy it has developed, which could be used to charge electric cars while they are parked, using the sun’s rays.

He said that the development of such technologies by companies such as Romag had the potential to turn the North-East into a major player in the electric vehicle market, creating a significant number of jobs.

Mr Brown highlighted Washington-based Smith Electric Vehicles, part of the Tanfield Group, which makes electric vans, and Nissan, which plans to develop electric vehicle technology, as other examples of where the region was already poised to benefit from the new market.

He said: “I am really inspired by what I have seen this afternoon. I do feel the North- East could become a world leader in the electric vehicle market.

“We should embrace it.

There are plans for recharging points right across the region. We could roll it out quickly and there is support and interest from the local authorities.”

He also believed that the siting of an electric car battery factory in the region, possibly next to Nissan’s Sunderland site could be vitally important to the North-East.

The Japanese car manufacturer is understood to be looking at a number of potential sites, with Sunderland under consideration.

Mr Brown said it was “very rare for one single decision”

to have such a potential impact on an area, but this was one of those.
