CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The family business from Waldachtal in the northern Black Forest exceeded its excellent figures of the previous year by two per cent. These sales figures are also the result of the company’s sustainable growth strategy, which has allowed fischer to continue to operate independently of negative global influences. In total, fischer employs around 5900 members of staff, 300 more than in 2022.
The company’s largest division, fischer fixing systems, once again made a growing contribution to the success of the Group of Companies with a two per cent year-on-year increase in turnover. Innovative new products and systems, consistent internationalisation and a comprehensive range of services for various customer groups had a positive effect on the company’s economic success.
The past financial year was also highly successful thanks to the company’s collaboration with Jürgen Klopp, one of the world’s most successful football coaches and fischer’s new Brand Ambassador as of early 2023. The successful collaboration between Jürgen Klopp and fischer will continue in 2024, with the second marketing campaign having launched in late November 2023, with further events to follow.
Driving digitalisation in the construction industry
The company also proved to be successful with its digital offers. fischer’s customer-oriented services optimise the planning, construction and operation of buildings in the entire industry. Its services comprise digital solutions such as the innovative fischer BauBot construction robot, Building Information Modelling (BIM), automated construction and connected fastening products on the Internet of Things. The efficient fischer Construction Monitoring IoT solution for monitoring prestressing forces in existing fastenings has also proved to be successful in the market, as have the company’s other digital offers, such as fischer’s apps and software tools for designing, selecting and using its products and comprehensive e-commerce solutions for fischer’s retail partners.
Lower workload in Automotive due to e-mobility
fischer Automotive was faced by issues that affect the entire industry and beyond. As Germany’s current government is primarily backing e-mobility, this has had a negative effect on the number of units in fischer Automotive’s production plants, resulting in a reduced workload in production. Despite the issues caused by political factors, the company division turnover increased by five per cent.
fischertechnik – success through simulation model
In 2024, the toy manufacturer fischertechnik is set to continue its successful trend of the past year. Despite the challenging conditions in the industry, fischertechnik recorded an increase in turnover of ten per cent. This year, the division will be launching new design parts and a new colour concept for its toy products. A new and groundbreaking modular simulation model was launched last autumn in the industry segment with fischertechnik’s Agile Production Simulation. The new teaching material concept has proven to be particularly popular in STEM classes.
