Bonduelle has announced its results for 2014/15, including a record operating profit result of €111.5m and turnover growth of 3.2 per cent to €1.98bn.

'In a 2014/15 rather demanding environment - sluggish consumption, concentration of distribution in Europe, fire at the Tecumseh plant (Canada), the Russian embargo and rouble devaluation - the Bonduelle Group records another financial year of strong revenue and profitability growth,' the group stated.

'Higher than the announced objective, later revised upward, this economic and financial performance demonstrates the pertinence of its business model and resilience to the fluctuating environment, and secures the profitable growth objective of its business project: VegeGo! 2025.'

The turnover of the European operations, which make up 65 per cent of total turnover, remained stable both on a published and constant basis.
