Following the opening up of EU markets, the enterprise undergoes significant change. With the borders open, we increasingly focus on exports. The company achieves a turnover of 2.3 million euros during the year.

The annual sales increased by 4.8 % over the previous year to 148.8 million Euros, which represents a new record.

The greatest renovation work in our company's history is taking place at our location in Mäder. The building is partially renovated, various social rooms are created for employees, and the complex traffic situation on site is resolved by a new road and roundabout.
