Qualceram chief executive Mr John O'Loughlin said today he was upbeat about forecasts for the company’s growth this year.
Speaking at the manufacturer’s AGM in Dublin today, Mr O'Loughlin said the company was performing well and its most recent acquisition Shires was integrating well into the group.
The Irish bathroom products manufacturer acquired Shires in a £54 million deal in September 2000. Qualceram currently holds around 55 per cent of the Irish market and 10 per cent of the UK market.
Mr O'Loughlin said the group would now focus on expanding its market share in the UK.
