ECKES-GRANINI 2022 WITH GOOD RESULTS DESPITE NUMEROUS CHALLENGES

The 2022 business year was characterized by the ongoing transformation of the ONE.ECKES-GRANINI strategy. This development has been and continues to be of central importance to our organization, especially in the light of the fundamental crises. Like all companies in the food and beverage industry, we had to deal with a tight raw material supply, a shortage of freight space and supply chain difficulties as a result of the war in Ukraine. On top of this, there was an unprecedented explosion in the cost of raw materials, partly due to poor harvests, as well as packaging materials, energy and transport. By responding fast and flexible, we were able to achieve good sales growth and – viewed across the whole business – an increase in market share despite the challenging market environment.

Revenue from sales increased to EUR 917 million in 2022, almost reaching pre-pandemic levels. The sales growth is mainly based on positive mix effects and price increases implemented in individual countries. In addition, successful product innovations in all countries contributed to the positive development.
