Polymers maker Victrex has said the group sales volumes have remained strong since the half-year end with third quarter volumes of 754 tonnes, marginally ahead of 750,000 tonnes reported the year before.

"We continue to expect revenue growth year-on-year from Invibio, our biomaterial solutions business, whilst cognisant of the on-going challenges in the US healthcare market," the firm said.
