Strong growth driven by branded products (+37%) and third-party production (+44%).
Gross profit amounted to €14.9 million compared to €12.1 million in the corresponding period of 2024, representing an improvement of 23%.
Operating expenses amounted to €10.8 million compared to €8.5 million in the same period last year, mainly due to the increase in marketing and sales support for branded products.
For 2025, the Company expects to maintain its positive momentum in revenue, double-digit growth and further improvement in profitability.






Sales increased by 37% as a result of value share growth and the entry in new household categories. Sales in homecare categories more than doubled while personal care increased by 8%.
Sales increased by 7%, driven by both branded hotel products (+18%) and sales of third-party hotel products abroad.
Third party products grew by 44% driven by the full deployment of a new collaboration and the expansion of existing customers.
Industrial sales of soap bases decreased by 2% compared to the first half of 2024. This decline is largely due product mix.
