Emmi grows and proves robust

Emmi generated net sales of CHF 4,230.0 million in 2022. We see the broad-based organic growth of 7% as confirmation that our business model is robust and that our strategy is working with a focus on attractive markets, niches and innovative brands. The international business, our strategic niches and brands, such as Emmi Caffè Latte once again, as well as our business in Switzerland all contributed in particular to the positive sales performance.

Step-by-step progress

At the same time, we made further progress in portfolio transformation with the seamless integration of Athenos’

Feta range in the key US market. We have also taken a major step forward in the area of sustainability. We reduced our own greenhouse gas emissions by 10% compared to the previous year thanks to the use of additional renewable electricity and the commissioning of other alternative energy sources, such as the pioneering solar thermal plant in Langnau. The “KlimaStaR Milch” resource project in Switzerland, which we co-initiated, has also got off to a good start.

Our efforts have paid off

We have responded with great commitment to market challenges such as significantly higher energy and raw material costs. We have implemented many initiatives, both large and small, to improve efficiency, contain cost increases and responsibly increase sales prices. This allowed us to fight back in the second half of the year after a difficult start to the year and achieve a respectable overall result. CEO Ricarda Demarmels is satisfied: “a big thank you goes to all our teams – we fought back with our heads and hearts after a difficult first half of the year.”
