“We are continuing to build on our strategic partnerships with key clients and the results are outstanding,” CEO Danny Rotman said.

“Sales have been well ahead of forecast for the period to date and we see further upside in the forecast provided for 2021 given the continued roll-out of Sam’s Club megastores in China, the growing traction the products are receiving and the over performance against forecast to date,” he added.
