                                 TRADING UPDATE


25th November 2004


Rotork p.l.c., the specialist engineer, today provides its annual November
Trading Update.

The growth in order intake generated in the first half of the year has been
maintained.  In general, worldwide demand for our products remains encouraging
with the new IQT actuator, in particular, exceeding our expectations.

The effect of the size and mix of orders combined with some material supply
issues has constrained output.  Nevertheless we anticipate profits for the year
to fall within the range of current forecasts.  The year end order book is
expected to be substantially higher than last year, which will provide a solid
start for 2005.
