Baden-Württemberg: dowels and toy sets: Fischer generates sales in the billions

Waldachtal (dpa/lsw) - For the first time in the company's history, the fastening specialist Fischer, known among other things for its dowels, will break the billion mark in sales this year. "We'll be over it," announced owner Klaus Fischer on Wednesday in Waldachtal (Freudenstadt district). "Quite, sure."

An exact figure will not be published until next year. In 2021, the group closed with record sales of EUR 988 million after EUR 872 million in the previous year. Fischer generally does not report a group result.

The group, which is also active in the automotive sector and with the Fischertechnik construction kits in the education and toys segment, is feeling the price increases, conceded owner Fischer. In his estimation, next year will not be any easier. But in 2022 sales could be increased.

The group, based in the Black Forest, employed around 5,400 people at the end of last year, 200 more than a year earlier. This number could have been maintained, said Fischer.
