French poultry processor Duc has posted provisional sales figures of EUR167.3m (US$243.5m) for 2007, an unadjusted year-on-year surge of 61%.


Allowing for a recovery in poultry sales and the successful integration of the Rieuc-sur-Belon site during 2007, the company recorded an adjusted growth figure of 24%.


“High sales levels have confirmed the relevance of our group strategy since 2006,” said chief executive Joel Marchand.


The group sustained a focus on value-added products with the acquisition of a former CECAB breaded poultry plant at Plumelin, in Britanny.


Last year Duc also acquired Breton firm Cobral, with specialist meat-filled puff pastry products. Duc is poised to market top grade fresh chicken in Bulgaria, through last year’s joint venture with SVS 98.
