Britain's Rotork cuts 2019 sales forecast

(Reuters) - British industrial group Rotork <ROR.L> on Tuesday cut its forecast for 2019 sales growth, after reporting a 4.3% fall in first-half revenue on lower orders.

The company, which makes valve-automation equipment used in the oil and gas, power and nuclear industries, said in April it was continuing to expect modest annual sales growth on an organic constant currency basis.
