* Says confident of continuing to trade in line

* Says trading cash flow has been strong in H1 (Adds details)

June 26 (Reuters) - British plastics and fibre products company Filtrona Plc (FLTR.L) said on Friday its year-to-date trading was in line with its view and that it was confident this trend would continue. "Trading cash flow has been strong in the year to date as a result of continued focus on working capital and lower levels of capital expenditure," Filtrona, which makes products such as cigarette filters and lamination for passports, said in a statement.

The company said the relative resilience of the global tobacco industry had continued to benefit its coated and security products and filter products divisions.
