I don't see that any other qualifier is needed here (busy, robust, top...)

Profitable year
You are there already!
Alternatively you could use 'a year of strong sales'

You're right of course Tony. STRONG SALES then is better.

: I'd go along with "a year of strong sales", but as far as "profitable" is concerned, I agree with TonyTK.

German term (edited):
ein umsatzstarkes Jahr des [Firmennamen]
a busy trading year for [name of company]
... a fun filled London venue where they can relax together and celebrate the end of a busy trading year.

Another busy trading year for Nationwide Handling team as we all had our annual “Get together” on Friday 23rd September.

As the other commentators have said, strong sales may well go hand in hand with high profits, but that is not implicit in umsatzstark.

: "busy trading" does not equate to high turnover per se//I agree, but just using the rather nebulous term "busy" is too vague imo

'Turnover' seems to be a British English term for what the Americans call 'sales'. // 'Stark' (DE) does not always equate to 'strong' (EN). Very often, it just sounds translated.

Björn Vrooman
: Cut sales, cut turnover, cut trading. First, they offer I&D services. Second, agree with Wendy--needs a rewrite. Third, this is marketing(!). As simple as: They had a "busy 2017." These two are "driving growth," so "umsatz-" is at best redundant.

Thanks. I agree with your comment re 'sales' for services rather than products. These two Standbaufirmen are what we might call 'tradesmen' in British English.

top selling year / or rewrite
The year 1959 was a great one for many British bike builders; it was their top selling year in many cases.

To my friend Lancashireman
PS: (My sentimental ties to Lancashire stem from a romance with a Mancunian lady some fifty years ago, it can now be revealed).
I always translate "Umsatz" as "sales" and when used in terms of "Absatzgeschwindigkeit" (is there a better word? Inventarumschlag??) as "turnover". I know that in Britain "turnover" is sometimes used in place of "sales".
