ench company behind Babybel, has posted a 2.8% rise in third-quarter sales.Revenue reached €683 million in the three months to the end of September. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, sales were up 6.8% during the period.
Sales were up across all of Bel's business regions, except the combined Americas and Asia-Pacific division. Bel's third-largest region was affected by foreign exchange.
Without that impact, Bel's sales in the Americas and Asia-Pacific would have increased year-on-year, albeit at a slower pace than in previous quarters.
Bel's largest region by sales is Western Europe and sales there rose 2.6% to €272 million.
In the Middle East, the company said in a statement that it experienced double digit growth.
