Royal Canin Turnover up by 19%

In their end of July report the Royal Canin group have announced a consolidated first-half turnover that is up by 19% at £122m compared £102m for the same period last year.

The specialised pet food company attributes the increased activity to customer loyalty to their top-of-the-range high-nutrition dog and cat foods and the successful introduction of two new product lines:

Feline Nutrition (cat) launched in November 1999
