Announcing its results, the company said that it aimed to double its sales to EUR4bn over the next five years. In the shorter-term, Total Produce also indicated that it is targeting mid single-digit EPS growth, with earnings per share totalling EUR5.70 in 2006.
Outlining the group’s ambitious revenue target, chairman Carl McCann said that acquisitions will drive the company’s growth. “The strategy of the company is to continue to expand the business both organically and, in particular, by acquisition,” McCann said. “We want to do three or four medium-sized deals each year, most likely in Europe, although we’ve also been looking further.”
