VENTILATOR PROGRAMME, TRADING AND FINANCIAL UPDATE

As announced on 31 March 2020, Science Group’s product development business, Sagentia, has been engaged on the UK Government’s Rapidly Manufactured Ventilator System (RMVS) initiative. The initial requirements in the “new-design” stream of the Government’s 3-pillar ventilator strategy were based on achieving high volume and rapid manufacture of a new ventilator design in an environment with severely constrained supply chains and global component sourcing conflicts. This enormous challenge was satisfied by Sagentia through a highly innovative software-free approach creating a unique ventilator design, primarily based on mechanical fabrication.
