The ANWR Group eG closed the 2022 financial year with significant growth. The entire business volume of the group of companies was 21.7 billion euros, exceeding the previous year’s level by 9.6 percent, the trade association said on Monday.
The purchasing volume of its own association groups, which include Sport 2000, Garant and Goldkrone, rose by 26.3 percent to 3.2 billion euros and was thus 10.1 percent above the value of the pre-Corona year 2019. The shoes segment increased by 27.2 percent to 1.4 billion euros, the sports segment grew by 23.9 percent to almost 1.7 billion euros and the leather goods segment by 53.8 percent to 119 million euros.
The central settlement volume of the two financial institutions belonging to the ANWR Group, DZB Bank and Aktivbank for associations that do not belong to the group, rose by 6.7 percent compared to the previous year and reached a level of 16.8 billion euros.
CEO Frank Schuffelen acknowledged the current figures: “This is a remarkable development given the challenging framework conditions in the past year 2022,” he said in a statement. “It should be particularly emphasized that almost all of the 15 different sectors in the area of central settlement were able to achieve growth rates. The high degree of diversification in different sectors and markets is the basis for the stable development of the group of companies.”
