RPC was established in 1991 following the management buyout of the plastic operations of Reedpack Ltd from SCA. Originally comprising five UK factories, the company today has over 55 operations in 19 countries and employs more than 11,100 people, with annual sales in excess of £1bn. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1993 and entered the FTSE 250 in March 2011.

RPC is unique in offering products manufactured by the three main conversion processes – blow moulding, injection moulding and thermoforming, each technology producing different product characteristics that are suitable for specific packaging applications. It is structured along market and technological lines into six clusters which are aligned to these three processes.

Each cluster has on average seven manufacturing sites, operating across a wide geographical area for reasons of customer proximity, local market demand and manufacturing resource. Each plant is run autonomously.

This structure gives RPC a high degree of knowledge and expertise, along with the flexibility to deal with all types of sizes of businesses, and enables the company to deliver packaging solutions tailored each time to individual customer requirements, as well as the highest levels of service and support.

The drop is most probably due to the rights issue.

Our system’s recommendation today is to BUY. The BULLISH INVERTED HAMMER* pattern finally received a confirmation because the prices crossed above the confirmation level which was at 525.6136, and our valid average buying price stands now at 526.1936. The previous SELL signal was issued on 23/12/2014, 16 days ago, when the stock price was 515.3146. Since then RPC.L has risen by +2.11%.

Market Outlook

Let’s jump on our white horses and go for a bullish ride. The bullish pattern that was previously identified is finally confirmed and a BUY signal is generated. Most probably, it is the right time to participate in bullish fervor. The market is telling you about a new profit. Do not miss this bullish opportunity.

Interim Management Statement



RPC Group, the leading international rigid plastic supplier to packaging and non-packaging markets, today issues its interim management statement for the period from 1 October 2014.



Trading performance



Revenues for the Group ("continuing operations") in the third quarter of the financial year 2014/15 ("the period") increased compared to the same period last year due to the contribution from acquisitions and slightly higher underlying activity levels.



The Group's adjusted operating profit in the period was in line with management expectations and significantly ahead of prior year due to the organic growth, benefits from the Fitter for the Future programme and the contribution from acquisitions. In the period there was a benefit from the time lag in passing through declining polymer prices to the customer base which was to some extent offset by the foreign exchange translation headwinds caused by the strengthening of the £ versus the €. Both trends are anticipated to continue in the final quarter of the financial year.



The Group's financial position remains robust with satisfactory cash flow development in the third quarter and significant headroom under the Group's debt facilities.



Vision 2020



Good progress continues to be made in implementing the Vision 2020 focused growth strategy by growing organically and through acquisitions. The overall performance of M&H Plastics, Helioplast and Ace has been encouraging, and these acquisitions have enhanced the Group's management and technical capabilities whilst extending its geographical reach. The integration has now been largely completed.



The Fitter for the Future programme has been successful and is nearing completion. Preparation for the integration of Promens is progressing well with completion of the acquisition anticipated by end of March at the latest as anti-trust clearances have already been received from the German, Polish and Russian authorities.





Pim Vervaat, RPC's Chief Executive, said:



"Despite the difficult trading environment in Europe, I am encouraged by the Group's recent trading performance and the contributions from the recent acquisitions. Looking forward, the acquisition of the Promens business will be a further significant step in realising the focused growth strategy outlined in Vision 2020 whilst we continue to explore additional growth opportunities."
