Revenues surged to $66.2m, up 23.1%. Sales increased across the company’s three sectors of chesnuts, convenience food and frozen food.
American Lorain chairman and CEO Si Chen said the company was “satisfied” with its performance in the second quarter despite difficulties, one being general inflation.
“We are optimistic about the second half of 2011 based on what we are seeing thus far. The efforts of our management group in all three business segments are producing greater efficiencies in both the operating infrastructure and costs control which will help us as we continue to grow,” Chen said.
