A North Tyneside firm that makes critical components for the automotive industry has seen stronger sales driven by demand from the European Union.
ENTEK International Limited, which operates from Killingworth's Camperdown Industrial Estates, says turnover grew to £44.4m last year, up from £40.8m, as high sales values provided a boost.
In accounts filed at Companies House, the 130-strong firm said it expected significant demand for its separator products to continue this year, as markets also remain competitive.
