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
