Dear shareholders,
Looking back on an eventful but once again largely successful year, the Zehnder Group demonstrated flexibility and resilience throughout 2021. We enjoyed a strong first half of the year with large order volumes as we dealt with pent-up demand. As the year progressed, we faced ever greater challenges presented by sharply rising raw material and component prices and a gradual decline in the availability of electronic components. Developments like these slowed our growth considerably. Nevertheless, we are pleased to be able to present a solid result for the year as a whole.
