- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The business continued to operate in a challenging economic environment during 2025, with ongoing uncertainty across domestic and international markets. While inflationary pressures have stabilised, soft domestic market conditions persisted throughout the year, resulting in continued volume and price pressure across both divisions.”
- “International turnover strengthened during the year, reflecting the benefits of increased focus on export markets and closer alignment with the wider HERMA group.”
- “The company continues to invest in research and developmert, particularly focusing on automation, robotics, and product handling within the packaging sector.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
