Trading Update

Elementis plc (LSE:ELM) today issues a trading update, ahead of the preliminary results for the year ending 31 December 2006.

Trading performance for the year ending 31 December 2006 is in line with market expectations, and market conditions in the second half of the year have been broadly the same as for the first half. In addition, benefits from the Group's recently announced restructuring program are being delivered more quickly than previously anticipated and, as a result, around £2 million of savings that were scheduled to be delivered in 2007 have been brought forward to 2006.

The company will make its Preliminary Results announcement on February 27, 2007.
