Pre-close Trading Update

Devro plc ("Devro" or "the Company"), the world's leading manufacturer of collagen products for the food industry, today announces a trading update prior to entering its close period on 1 July, 2010.

In our Interim Management Statement released on 6 May, 2010 we stated that the Company had performed strongly in the year to date and ahead of the Board's expectations. Since then, Devro has seen continuing progress in sales, pricing, volume growth and manufacturing efficiency. These factors have driven a stronger than anticipated finish to the first half.

The results for the half year to 30 June, 2010 will be announced on Tuesday, 3 August, 2010.
