CRYSTRAN LIMITED
Company number 02863378 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Crystran Limited demonstrates financial performance that significantly exceeds sector norms for UK precision manufacturing SMEs, with net margins estimated at 12-17% (versus a typical 5-8%), a current ratio exceeding 5:1, and compound net asset growth of approximately 12.8% over nine years. The company occupies a defensible specialist niche in IR and UV optical materials, benefiting from structural demand growth in defence, semiconductor, and scientific instrumentation markets. Its principal vulnerabilities — modest scale, key person dependency, and family ownership concentration — are partially mitigated by exceptional balance sheet strength and over 30 years of accumulated technical expertise.
