These companies have been identified from one of a series of reports published by Plimsoll Publishing, which identifies and examines, in depth, all the UK limited companies making up this industry. Any company in the bearings industry will find this an invaluable tool for analysing their competitors, assessing the financial viability of their customers and identifying new suppliers. Companies are ranked by both sales growth and profits. The best performers are identified by various categories, including:

• •

  The leaders in efficiency.

• •

  Those companies adding the most value.

• •

  Those with the best trading and gross profit margins.

• •

  The new stars.

• •

  The most cash-rich companies.

• •

  The most desirable to own companies that would make excellent acquisitions.

There are many other useful sections new to the autumn 1997 editions for those who need a greater depth of industry analysis than has previously been available to the industry. The analysis offered by this report, which covers some 325 UK limited companies, will prove useful to those companies looking to review their position in the marketplace.
