Europe Zone

The Europe zone recorded a sales increase of + 3.1%* on a like for like basis. The activity remaining strong in the can segment and pretty dynamic in the fresh ready-to-use category has offset the food service frozen activity still negatively oriented, thanks to a very favourable September.

Non-Europe Zone

The non-Europe zone experienced, over the quarter, a growth reaching + 8.8%*. The activity is still dynamic both in Eastern Europe, where the activity is marginally impacted by the Russian embargo and in North America where the fire in the Tecumseh site had little impact on the activity.

Outlooks

The high level of activity recorded for the 1st quarter, in line with the expectations, and a globally favourable crop season confirm the activity growth objectives and the current operational profitability as announced on the 30th of September when the 2013-2014 annual results were released.
