Turnover at Confectionary Holding’s final consumer-focused agri-food division rose to 31 million euros in the 2015-2016 fiscal year

Jijona, Alicante (18-04-2016).- Confectionary Holding, the parent company of Almendra y Miel S.A and Chocolate & Trufa, owners of brands such as 1880, Doña Jimena, El Lobo, and Imperial Toledana, closed its 2015-2016 fiscal year with an increase in overall sales and a turnover of 31 million euros in its final consumer-focused agri-food division.

Confectionary Holding continues to report positive growth rates, thanks to constant innovation in its new product development and also to its international expansion. Exports to existing markets (mainly South America) rose by 18%, and 20% of total production was earmarked for foreign markets, with the company now exporting to more than 50 countries across five continents.

According to management at the agri-food group, one of the reasons for the growth is the new trend in consumption of Christmas fare, which favours higher value-added products, which “bring functionality to consumption, greater choice at the table, and innovation and quality”.

A breakdown of the different brands shows the strongest sales growth at 1880, thanks to the launch of 4 Bandejas 1880, with Bandeja Selección 1880 being named Innovation Product of the Year 2016. In addition to the traditional classic nougat bars, Bandejas 1880 combined the most popular and characteristic products in the different Christmas fare ranges: nougats, marzipans, Christmas sweets, and chocolates.

There were also upbeat results and growth rates from the group’s other brands, such as Turrones El Lobo, Doña Jimena, and Imperial Toledana, which all played their part through their respective channels in the Group’s 30% sales growth.
