Article Abstract:
Churchill China has performed well since the company was floated in Nov 1994. The company has developed exports and moved away from the cheaper segment of the tableware market. The company holds a 35% stake in the middle market which is more profitable than the cheaper segment that is exposed to imports from Asia. Hotelware is growing strongly and this provides repeat orders. The company is likely to increase its stake in the US market following a distribution agreement signed with Allied Buying Corp.
