              Trading update for the 52 weeks ended 30 April 2005



Bespak plc (LSE: BPK), a leader in specialty medical devices, today announces
that trading for the year is consistent with its expectations, with activity in
the second half weighted to the final months of the period. The transfer of
certain production from the Company's plant in Cary, North Carolina to the UK
proceeds as planned towards an anticipated shut-down in August 2005.



Looking ahead, two key issues will continue to influence our performance. In
March, the FDA announced that CFC albuterol formulations cannot be sold in the
US after December 2008, and US customers are now considering the impact of this
ruling. In February, Pfizer announced that it had filed the NDA for Exubera(R)
in the US, which followed the European filing in February 2004. We remain
confident in our continuing growth prospects, although we are cautious in the
near term in view of a stepped increase in pension costs.



Bespak will announce its full year results on 13 July 2005.
