Together with France, Great Britain, Italy and Switzerland, Germany is still one of the core markets “with good growth on a high basis”, as the more than 175-year-old traditional company announced. In Europe, sales amounted to 2.30 billion Swiss francs. This corresponds to organic growth of 5.3 percent.

The shareholders, whose shares are among the most expensive in the world at a market value of CHF 102,000 each, will receive a dividend of CHF 1,300 per share. In the current year, the company with around 14,000 employees is aiming for sales growth of six to eight percent, even if the general conditions are characterized by high inflation and high volatility, as it was said.
