AAF Industries: new dawn
Article Abstract:
AAF Industries acquired Premier, which makes modular buildings, in 1989, and this led to problems due to Premier's losses. AAF Industries reported a loss for 1995, but the company returned to profit in 2nd half 1995, prior to exceptionals, mainly relating to Stamford Pickard. The company is left with two businesses, Premier Transline, involved in hire and production of pre-fab cabins, and Formscaff, involved in scaffolding. The cabin side is improving, but the scaffolding market is more difficult. The company's shares have a recovery value in May 1996.
