Bucher Industries reported a good start to the year. Demand for the divisions’ products and services remained strong. The Group’s order intake continued to rise on a very high level. Sales were up again over the prior-year period, with all divisions contributing to this trend except Bucher Municipal. This was possible despite increasingly acute difficulties in the supply chain and logistics as well as the shortage of labour. The order book increased further despite being already on a very high level. The war in Ukraine gave rise to new uncertainties with consequences for the supply chain and the industry which are hard to predict. The business activities conducted in Russia were reduced substantially.
