The consistent execution of Cicor‘s business strategy is reflected in new record figures for order intake, sales and profitability.
The Cicor Group increased sales in 2023 by 24.5% year-on-year to a new high of CHF 389.9 million (2022: CHF 313.2 million). While organic growth contributed 11.1% and acquisitions 16.4% to sales growth, the appreciation of the Swiss franc slowed sales growth by –3.0%.
Despite the economic headwind, Cicor was able to further expand its robust order backlog. With incoming orders of CHF 399.8 million (2022: CHF 358.9 million), the previous year’s figure was exceeded by 11.4% and a ratio of incoming orders to sales (book-to-bill rate) of 1.03 was achieved. Cicor Group’s order backlog thus continues to represent around one year’s sales.
