Robinson plc, the Chesterfield-based packaging manufacturer, has seen profit and revenue rise.
In its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025, the business shared how pre-tax profits have jumped to £1.8m, from £700,000 in the same period last year.
Meanwhile, revenue saw a 2% increase to £27.6m, from £27.1m), with sales volumes in line with the first half of 2024.
Alan Raleigh, chairman, said: “The results for the first half of 2025 continue to build on the excellent progress made in 2024.
“Whilst market conditions remain challenging and we continue to experience softness and volatility in demand from some existing customers, we also continue to see new opportunities in our sales pipeline which we expect to see the benefit of in future periods.
“We are delivering on our surplus property disposal agenda, which will reduce indebtedness and create a simpler more streamlined business. We continue to refresh our strategy to identify opportunities and the necessary capabilities for further growth in revenue and profits.
“The Company expects underlying operating profit for the 2025 financial year to be ahead of 2024 and in line with current market expectations. We remain committed in the medium-term to delivering above-market profitable growth and our target of 6-8% underlying operating margin.”
Robinson was formerly a family business with its origins dating back to 1839, and currently employs nearly 400 people.
