MORE THAN WORDS,<br />

OUR STRENGTHS<br />

The Group’s key strengths provide a solid basis for all its endeavours, allowing it to go beyond limits and<br />

achieve well-dened strategic goals.<br />

A BALANCED<br />

SPREAD<br />

of global sales. Expansion<br />

in emerging markets, which now<br />

account for 44% of our revenues,<br />

gives driving force to our growth.<br />

SOLID<br />

financial fundamentals. A very low level of<br />

debt, at 9% of equity, and a healthy<br />

balance sheet, give <strong>the</strong> Group a comfortable<br />

margin of financial manoeuvre.<br />

The Group’s history is dotted with landmark innovations:<br />

<strong>the</strong> pressure cooker, nonstick pans, multi-function<br />

food processors…and still today, <strong>the</strong> Nutricook,<br />

<strong>the</strong> minimal-oil Actifry, <strong>the</strong> AutoClean iron<br />

with its self-cleaning soleplate, or <strong>the</strong> low-noise<br />

Silence Force vacuum cleaner. More than<br />

200 new products and models launched each year.<br />

A CULTURE OF INNOVATION
