Thai Union Group PCL published robust fourth quarter data and all-time high annual financial results for 2021, driven by an ongoing recovery in its frozen and chilled business. During the fourth quarter of 2021, their sales have reached record of THB 38.5 billion, a 15.1% year-on-year increase. The reason of this is a rebound in the frozen and chilled seafood business following the reopening of food service, restaurants and hotels in the United States.
Sustainability still is Thai Union's business center. The company was pleased to be included in Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), for the eighth year in a row. Also, Food Products Industry Index ranked Thai Union second in the world in 2021.
Despite the ongoing pandemic, Thai Union's management team helped ensure the business. Furthermore, they emerged stronger and in even better financial health. Last year, they also established Thai Union Lifescience. This will be responsible for distributing supplements to consumers in that fast-growing segment.
