LPA Industries: steamin' and a'rolling

Article Abstract:

LPA Industries is a UK producer of electrical equipment which looks set to benefit from a recovery in the UK rolling stock industry. Connectors produced by LPA are used in most railroad carriages in the UK. Rolling stock producers have shed jobs, and there is a need to replace the UK's aged rolling stock, but privatization has led to delays. The company's shares are recommended for investors in Feb 1996, since they are good value and LPA is well placed to see a rise in sales.
