IMI plc: what insiders have been doing
This page follows insider dealings at IMI plc as filed with RNS (LSE), a company from the Industry sector based in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The group dates from 1862. From 18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026, the disclosure feed for IMI plc logged 61 filings by 9 insiders.
On the market, 1 insider bought (1 purchase totalling €115k) while 7 insiders sold (13 sales totalling €8.6M). No amount is published for 4 filings, which the totals therefore leave out. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. Among those who bought: 1 board member. Biggest ticket of the year: €4.8M, sold by Roy Twite and made public on 31 March 2026 (0.057% of market cap).
Across the 831 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 6 filings; at 61 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Our records for IMI plc go back to 2023, with 8 purchases and 29 sales on the open market in total.
In all, 1 purchase was made within 30 days of a purchase by another insider of the company. A cluster is several different insiders buying the same stock within a short window, a pattern studied more closely than a single purchase. The clock since the last published purchase (9 March 2026) now reads 222 days. The median gap between a trade and its publication by RNS (LSE) is 1 day. For comparison, UK MAR gives managers three business days to notify a trade. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning.
In the same sector, recent insider purchases at Tennant Co and Butler National Corp also feature in our signals. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by RNS (LSE). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.

About IMI plc
IMI plc is a specialist engineering group focused on fluid and motion control, listed on the London Stock Exchange (FTSE 100/250/AIM) in the United Kingdom. The business traces its roots back to Birmingham in 1862, and today it remains headquartered at Birmingham Business Park, near Birmingham. IMI’s long history and industrial heritage have evolved into a niche, high-technical-content business model built around solving complex engineering challenges for customers in demanding environments. ([imiplc.com](https://www.imiplc.com/en/about-us/))
IMI’s core proposition is centered on three long-term structural growth themes: energy, automation and healthcare. The group designs bespoke solutions, including valves, actuators and controls, that are intended to improve safety, productivity and sustainability in its customers’ operations. This makes IMI a specialist industrial supplier rather than a broad commodity manufacturer, with value creation driven by engineering depth, application know-how and close customer partnerships.

From a competitive standpoint, IMI benefits from a long-established reputation, a global manufacturing and service footprint, and a strong focus on market-led innovation. The company states that it operates in more than 50 countries and employs over 10,000 people, giving it broad geographic reach across multiple end markets. This international platform supports exposure to conventional and transition energy, industrial automation, and selected healthcare-related applications, while also helping diversify the group’s earnings base. ([imiplc.com](https://www.imiplc.com/en/))
Recent corporate activity shows a clear portfolio-shaping strategy. In October 2024, IMI acquired TWTG, a Rotterdam-based innovator in wireless sensor technology, to strengthen its industrial IoT and Process Automation capabilities. In November 2025, the group announced the sale of Truflo Marine to Fairbanks Morse Defense for an enterprise value of £225 million, indicating continued discipline around capital allocation and business mix. IMI then released its full-year 2025 results in March 2026 and issued a Q1 2026 trading update in May 2026, reinforcing its active disclosure cadence through market announcements. ([imiplc.com](https://www.imiplc.com/investors/results-and-presentations/year/2024))
For French, Belgian and Swiss investors, IMI offers an attractive combination of industrial defensiveness, global diversification and a long operating track record. Its positioning in mission-critical engineering, anchored by a strong United Kingdom base and a London listing, makes it a relevant name in the UK industrial universe for investors seeking exposure to quality engineering, automation and sustainability-linked industrial demand.
