The company saw revenues rise 1.9% to CHF253.1m on the back of Rapelli meats and new vegetarian and gluten-free products. However, Orior said input prices, some of which reached “record high levels”, weighed on its profitability.

Orior said it expects raw material prices to ease. Less pressure from inputs, sales growth and new products mean Orior is “confident” about the second half of the year.
