PWR walks away from OEM discussions

PWR reiterated its commitment to growing its OEM business "responsibly through global opportunities presently in discussion".

In other news, PWR confirmed that settlement has gone through on the new premises it will be leasing at 28 Quarry Road, Stapylton from 1 July 2025.
