Operating profit increased 4.7% year-on-year, climbing to EUR105.6m. The company emphasised that represented its “highest” profitability level, with margins at 5.6% of sales. Margins were boosted by cost control measures on an industrial, commercial and administrative level, Bonduelle revealed.
The French group added the difference in profitability between Europe and non-euro zones “validates the group internationalisation strategy”.
