RPC Group Plc, Europe's biggest plastics packager, has reported a 5.8% rise in quarterly revenue, helped by contributions from its Astrapak moulded-plastic packaging business and favourable polymer pricing.
The company said that revenue rose to £964.7 million in the quarter ended 30 June.
'Profitability (before and after adjusting items) from continuing operations was in line with management expectations and grew versus last year,' the company noted.
