SAUSAGE skin maker Devro has said that third-quarter trading was in line with expectations with total sales volumes ahead of last year and forecasts for the full year unchanged.

Devro said the period continued the momentum of the first half, when it posted £13.1m underlying profits on £125m revenue.

A plan to improve sales, develop new products and improve efficiency is progressing well, the board said. The Devro 100 programme is on track to deliver anticipated cost savings for the year.
