STADA, the parent company of Huddersfield-based Thornton & Ross, continued to see sales growth through the first half of 2020.
The business which increased production volumes significantly as the pandemic hit in March has said that against the backdrop of a difficult operating environment brought about by Covid-19, it saw a 16% increase in reported Group sales, taking it to €1.47bn.
The firm has stated that its diverse portfolio is “on the whole, standing up well to the challenging market conditions”, with the Thornton & Ross manufactured Zoflora now the UK’s biggest selling household disinfectant brand and being introduced into more markets internationally.
