Turnover at the East Kilbride-based meat company increased by £16.8m to almost £108m in the year ended 26 February, 2006.
Operating profit remained similar to the previous year at £2.3m, but the business benefited from a £2.6m gain on the sale of non-operating assets to take pre-tax profits to £5m, up £2.7 million on 2005.
European trade by the company, which supplies retailers including Marks & Spencer, more than doubled from £4.7m to £11.1m during the year.
