Dr. Daniel Bossard, CEO, and Dr. Thomas Schmuckli, Chair of the board of directors
After two years marked by the pandemic, numerous lockdowns,
and persistent interruptions in the global supply
chains, we faced additional challenges due to the shortage
of skilled labor and the wage and cost inflation in the
past financial year. Furthermore, the war in Ukraine and
the resulting European energy crisis as well as the increasing
tensions between China and Taiwan have led to
further market uncertainties.
Robust profitability in a challenging environment
Thanks to strong demand across all three market
regions, Bossard achieved new records in terms
of sales as well as EBIT and net income in spite
of an economically challenging environment
and the tense situation on the procurement
market.
