Investor Relations
Welcome to the investor relations section of the 600 Group website, where you will find key financial and investor data. This section plays a key role in our investor relations activities.
Summary
The 600 Group PLC is an industrial laser technology business with a diversified, blue-chip customer base. It designs and supplies industrial laser systems for applications in end-markets ranging from industrial and aerospace to medical and pharmaceuticals.
The Group operates through two brands, TYKMA/Electrox and Control Micro Systems (CMS), providing standard and specialized laser solutions, including marking, drilling, cutting and welding attributes.
Following the sale of 600 Group’s legacy Machine Tools Division its operations are focused on accelerating growth from this higher-margin sector where its existing businesses already have a strong global customer base. The Group’s strategy is to utilize its expertise and position to expand internationally into these high-growth, but fragmented, markets – both organically and through value-accretive acquisitions.
This strategy gives investors access to a growth market with substantial recurring revenues and sales diversified across both geographies and sector applications.
