Valora Group achieves record growth in 2024
A key driver behind this growth was the performance of Brezelbäckerei Ditsch.
Valora Group has reported its strongest financial results to date, closing 2024 with an EBIT of approximately CHF 97 million (€103mn), marking a 40% increase from the previous year. External sales also experienced steady growth, reaching CHF 2.9 billion (€3.1bn), a 4.6% rise.
A key driver behind this growth was the performance of Brezelbäckerei Ditsch, which recorded a particularly strong year in the U.S. market. To meet the rising global demand for pretzel products, Valora opened a second production facility in the United States in the autumn of 2024, further strengthening its presence in the international B2B sector.
Valora's convenience retail business also saw significant progress, supported by the expansion of its gas station shops in Switzerland. The addition of new locations contributed to the company's overall revenue increase.
The rising consumer demand for freshly prepared food on the go drove innovation in Valora’s food concepts. The innovative player launched new store formats, including "The Kitchen" by avec and the first Brezelkönig "Clip-in" within an avec gas station shop.
