Quinn’s of Baltinglass, the Wicklow-based agri-merchant privately owned by the Quinn family, has reported a 1.5% increase in pre-tax profits to €2.6m for its financial year to the end of June 2017. Accounts recently filed with the company’s office show the business had sales of just under €101m for the 12-month period, which was down more than 6% year on year.
However, operating profits in the business were maintained at just under €2.8m, as profit margins expanded from 2.6% to a healthy 2.8%.
Quinn’s agri-trading division accounted for the majority of turnover at €85m, while its feed manufacture and distribution business had a turnover of €12.9m. Quinn’s cereal and seed dressings business reported a turnover of €3.1m.
