“We are pleased to deliver a moderate increase in sales for the third quarter with a significant increase in gross margins, operating margins and net margins, translating into a 52% rise in our profit for the quarter,” said Zvi Williger, president and COO of the company. “This reflects the market’s strong response to the new, higher-margin products that we have been introducing into the Israeli market, together with the contribution of our ongoing efficiency efforts. To drive our future growth, we are expanding our institutional sales effort and continue adding new items to our unique selection of food products. In parallel, we continue to seek out the right channels for our launch into the high-potential US and European food markets.”
