The performance of PCG’s vinyl business had not been satisfactory compared to the Group’s other businesses, as it was not as closely integrated within the Group’s product value chain. PCG announced its exit from the vinyl business in October 2012 as part of its portfolio optimisation strategy. The discontinuation of the vinyl business provides the Group with the opportunity and flexibility to focus on the production of higher margin products within the Group’s portfolio.
