Recording an increase of 17.7% Gunz Warenhandel GmbH has once again exhibited strong growth in terms of turnover in 2013.

Sales revenues of 100 million euros were exceeded for the first time in the company’s history - exactly 104.2 million euros sales last year. This represents an increase of 17.7% over the previous year. "In the 17 years since the opening of the EU we have now seen double-digit growth 14 times" said Gunz CEO Werner Gunz.

Meanwhile, the traditional family run company, with headquarters in Mäder (Vorarlberg, Austria), delivers to customers in more than 85 countries on all continents.

Although the headquarters is in Austria, the German logistic centre in Magdeburg (Saxony-Anhalt, Germany) has developed into an increasingly important trans-shipment point. With these two locations Gunz has a capacity for 250 million euros. The location of the logistics centre in Magdeburg, with its proximity to the Port of Hamburg, has already proved to be very positive: "We handle about 50% of our shipments in the Magdeburg logistics centre" says Stefan Gunz, Operations and Logistics Manager.

There is however still plenty of room on the shelves and in the warehouses. But the pace of expansion shows that the Gunz brothers Helmut and Werner already recognised the need for space when planning in 2011, "focus is more and more towards the markets in Asia, particularly China. For the Chinese, European food is a status symbol. There is enormous potential there". The main markets are however in Europe: Germany then Switzerland and then the Netherlands.

The largest growth value was achieved in Italy - ahead of China and France. The new office opened recently in the U.S. gives Werner Gunz an optimistic outlook for the next year: "We will approach the American market without any pressure. First we will study the mind-set and the purchasing behaviour".
