LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Brick manufacturer Michelmersh said on Thursday that it has experienced "strong demand" from its customers since returning to full production capacity during the summer of 2020.

So far in 2021, Michelmersh stated its performance had continued to be "robust" and production volumes were ahead of expectations as the construction market remained "very active".
