Valois achieved full-year income of €30.5m ($48m), up 28 per cent on its 2006 earnings, while annual revenue hit €345.6m, 11 per cent higher than that recorded the previous year.
The French firm said that sales were strong across both its pharmaceutical and beauty divisions, particularly following the launch of several new products that incorporate its dispensing technologies.
In addition, the company also highlighted a number of its own product launches that helped boost the year's results including the Evolution and Custom Packages for its beauty and home care division.
Valois also reported that its new range of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-free metering valves for the delivery of pulmonary drug products made a significant contribution to its coffers.
The impending US ban on CFC-based albuterol inhalers, which comes into effect on December 31, is likely to see demand for technologies like Valois' metering valves continue to increase as drugmakers seek to target the lucrative US market. A recent study by Decision Resources suggested that the US albuterol CFC sector is worth nearly $400m a year.
In addition, Valois' 2007 operations had a distinctly international flavour, with sales outside France providing around 58 per cent of its total turnover.
The firm reported that, while revenues derived from the European Union and North America remained strong, emerging markets like South America and Asia had made a significant contribution.
