Pizza and baking ingredients giant Dr. Oetker has posted a mixed performance across its European operations in full-year 2019, with its Germany operations seeing sales 'increase significantly'.
The group said that product innovations and a streamlining of its product range contributed to the positive performance in its home market.
The business also posted 'significant' growth in the pizza category in the UK, Norway, Finland and Spain, however, this was offset by 'challenges' in several mature markets, including Italy, which saw a decline in sales.
