Despite the drop in profits, Drummonds saw its sales increase by 2% during the year to €54.3m. Over 90% of sales (€50.4m) were generated in Ireland, with just under €4m of sales coming from customers in Northern Ireland.
At year-end 2018, Drummonds carried stocks valued at €7.2m on its balance sheet, which is almost double the level of stocks carried a year previous and likely a result of the fodder crisis which hit Ireland in Spring 2018.
Drummonds had a net asset value of €14.3m at year-end and employed more than 60 people across 10 locations in Meath, Louth, Dublin, Offaly and Kildare.
