Food packaging company Hilton Food Group has said volumes and sales are trading ahead of the same period last year as the business continues to trade in line with board expectations. The London-listed firm said the strong performance came despite some of the markets it operates in being impacted by lower raw material prices. In Europe, its core meat and easier meals business performed well, with volume and revenue ahead of last year. Hilton Foods said: "We continue to build our long-term partnership with Walmart in Canada and remain on track for the 2027 launch of our multi-protein facility."
