Strict cost-cutting measures, greater vehicle efficiency and more third-party work helped Culina Logistics boost both its turnover and profits in the year to December 2005.
The chilled food and drink logistics company, which operates mainly in Germany and the UK, saw total turnover rise by 13.5% to €176m (£119m) from €155m (£105m) while profit on ordinary activities rose to €12.3m (£8.3m) from €8.2m (£5.6m) in 2004.
The directors say the company managed to maintain its market share
over the year. The company is part of the giant Müller group and although Müller continues to be Culina's key customer, the increase in turnover was caused predominantly by third-party business.
