Investment firm FAM FUNDS mentioned that despite the global financial crisis, Nomad Foods Limited remains one of the most profitable frozen food firms in its Q4 2020 investor letter: 

“The proceeds (from a sold equity) were primarily invested into a new idea — Nomad Foods (NOMD), a producer of branded frozen food products in Europe. Product categories include fish, vegetables, and meat substitutes. Management’s plan is to continually improve the brands they control while seeking opportunities to buy and upgrade similar companies. In the past, key members of senior management pursued this strategy at other businesses and created significant returns for shareholders. As COVID-19 rolled across Europe, Nomad became one of the few beneficiaries of the pandemic as consumers stopped visiting restaurants and increasingly ate at home.”
