Italian food distribution company Etruria Retail has reported a turnover of €253 million in its financial year 2020, up 15.8% compared with the previous year.

The performance was driven by increased sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the proximity store segment, as well as the company’s ability to adapt immediately to the new normal.

Out of its total profit of over €4.4 million, the company plans to distribute €2.8 million to shareholders.

Net financial debt declined to €11.6 million, which is half that of 2018.
