STRONG PERFORMANCE IN A TENSE YEAR OF CRISIS
The year 2020 was characterized by strong currency effects and pandemic-related influences on project business.
Interroll more than held its own: In a challenging environment, the company was able to increase sales slightly (+0.9% in local currencies), but due to the strong Swiss franc, sales fell to CHF 530.6 million (–5.2% year-on-year).
