Fenner (LSE: FENR) is a manufacturing and engineering company that produces industrial conveyor belting and silicone products. Its shares slumped 50% in 2014, but the company has quickly regained its composure and operating profits for the financial year ending 31 August 2017 look set to surpass the expectations of £37.4m. The company will also benefit from a reduced interest charge as the group during the period repaid $90m of 5.8% loan notes from cash deposits.
