 SWATCH GROUP Vendite 2001 in linea rispetto agli eccezionali risultati registrati nel 2000
Nonostante la difficile congiuntura internazionale, nel 2001 The Swatch Group Ltd., ha messo a segno una lieve crescita, pari allo 0,7 % in moneta locale.
La buona presenza del Gruppo in tutte le categorie di prezzo, grazie ai suoi 18 marchi, e la diversificazione geografica garantita dalla sua efficiente rete di distribuzione, hanno tuttavia consentito a The Swatch Group una lieve crescita del fatturato in moneta locale.
Per quanto riguarda Swatch, sono state rilevate la prevista flessione delle attività legate ai prodotti di telecomunicazione e una certa correzione nelle strutture distributive, soprattutto negli Stati Uniti, mentre i fatturati relativi alle attività proprie di Swatch hanno messo a segno una buona crescita.
