(Sharecast News) - Ventilation products manufacturer Volution Group said on Wednesday that trading in the first four months of FY26 had started well, with organic revenue growth of around 5% at constant currency. Volution, which said all three regions delivered organic growth against a varied but generally challenging backdrop, stated total revenues for the period were up more than 30%, including a 25% contribution from theitsrecent acquisition of Fantech and a small foreign exchange benefit,

The FTSE 250-listed firm said operating margins had remained strong, with organic adjusted margins consistent with the prior year, supported by ongoing engineering and procurement initiatives to drive product cost improvements.
