KTC Edibles, a food manufacturer based in the UK’s West Midlands region, is looking to expand its export activities after securing a GBP40m (US$55.5m) funding package from a High Street bank.
The family-owned company, which produces cooking oils, tinned goods and world food products for major retailers, manufacturers and wholesalers, has seen its sales increase by 10% over the last year and is aiming to build on that momentum.
Now, following the new funding – a working capital facility from Lloyds Bank – it plans to increase its global export operations by 25% over the next five years.
KTC Edibles exports to Europe, the US and Canada, which account for 5% of sales, but now it is looking to venture into new overseas markets.
Its annual turnover is GBP233m and KTC says it expects to increase this by at least 10% over the next year.
