Hilton Food Group, parent of UK seafood processor Seachill, reported good performance in 2018 with Seachill revenues increasing on the back of “business wins.”

“Our fish business Seachill has continued to grow compared with 2018,” the group said in a trade update ahead of the release of its financial results in September this year.

In addition, the group said works of its new New Zealand plant are in progress. The plant will incorporate a fish packaging unit.

“Work continues on the New Zealand facility, which will leverage the experience we have acquired from the acquisition of Seachill,” Hilton said.
