Fleury Michon, the French cooked meats-to-seafood group, saw sales increase 7% in 2015, with growth from its cooked meats and ready meals businesses. 

The company booked revenue of EUR757.6m (US$824.1m), up 7.1% on 2014. It reaffirmed its forecast for profits to be “close to flat” year-on-year amid higher raw material costs in the second half of 2015. The group will report its full annual results in April, alongside its first-quarter sales numbers.
