Plexus Chief Executive Officer, Ben Van Bilderbeek, said: "Since September 2012, we have now announced new contracts totalling £6.15m to supply our proprietary wellhead equipment to leading oil and gas companies. As a result, we are well placed to build on the record trading performance seen during our last full year."
