Hilton Food Group PLC’s trading has been in line with management expectations since the start of 2019, with progress achieved across a number of markets, including its fish business Seachill, according to its latest trading update.
The international food packing firm said that since the end of 2018 it had continued to grow the business "through additional volumes and close cooperation with our retail partners.”
Seachill, has continued to grow compared with 2018 “underpinned by recent business wins,” it said.
Work continues on a New Zealand facility, which will incorporate a fish-packing unit. The company said it plans to leverage the experience acquired from the acquisition of Seachill, which took place at the end of 2017.
