January 13, 2009, In business year 2008 the Bell Group boosted operating income by CHF 300 million (an increase of over 18%) to CHF 1.93 billion.
Sales growth can be attributed in particular to higher domestic sales (approx. CHF 130 million) and to acquisitions in 2008 (approx. CHF 90 million). All units contributed to the growth in sales. This satisfactory development was supported by the positive consumer sentiment that prevailed throughout the year, by a strong barbecue season and good Christmas sales.
