Valora with strong sales growth in 2023 thanks to expansion of food business - Seite 2

Strong growth in food business
With a new store concept, the established brand BackWerk was successfully launched at the main railway stations in the Netherlands in 2023. The Brezelkönig and Ditsch brands, which are popular in Switzerland and Germany respectively, had a successful financial year and again increased sales. The trendy fast-casual brand Frittenwerk also grew strongly again last year to 44 sales outlets in Germany.

Growing demand for pretzels in wholesale trade
With its Ditsch brand, Valora further consolidated its position as the global market leader in the pretzel wholesale business. The plants in Germany (Mainz and Oranienbaum) and the US (Cincinnati) were able to meet the growing demand for pretzels by making optimum use of their expanded production capacities. In the US and Germany, further steps to increase capacity were already taken last year.
