McBride Fails To Grow Sales In 2011, Plans Expansion In Asia

McBride posted flat sales in 2011, with household care products accounting for 80 percent and personal care representing 20 percent of sales. The company supplies more than 95 percent of the private-label requirements of Europe’s top 20 retailers, such as Aldi, Auchan, and Carrefour. While sales in the UK and Western Europe declined, sales in Central and Eastern Europe grew 18 percent to $222 million. McBride said it plans to expand operations in Asia.
