JSE-listed explosives and chemicals group AECI, one of SA's oldest companies, says it's pleased with record growth revenue in for its half-year to end June, while it's also making progress in its strategy to diversify offshore.

The group was weighed down by a R180 million loss by its Schirm business in Germany, which has been hit by a downturn in agrochemical demand in war torn Ukraine. The group almost halved its interim dividend to R1 per share.
