Bunzl this morning announced that the Group is expected to deliver very strong growth over the year, continuing to reflect the resilience and strength of the Bunzl business model. Group revenue in 2022 is expected to increase year-on-year by approximately 17% at actual exchange rates and by approximately 10% at constant exchange rates, with inflation driving underlying revenue growth and the impact of acquisitions further supplementing growth.
Ferrexpo this morning said subsequent to the suspension of its operations in October 2022, the Group is now receiving sufficient levels of power to bring one pelletiser line back into operation. This will allow the Group, together with its stockpiled material, to meet the requirements of existing customer contracts. As a result of interruptions, and continued instability, within the state-owned electricity network that have been experienced in the fourth quarter of 2022 approximately 0.3 million tonnes of pellets have been produced to date in 4Q 2022. Total pellet production for 2022 is therefore expected to be approximately 5.9-6.0 million tonnes.
