Bucher Industries, which owns Kuhn Group, released its second quarter 2023 earnings report July 27 and reported Kuhn Group’s net sales for the first half of the year totaled $971.4, up 6.6% year over year.
A press release from Bucher Industries, Kuhn Group's parent company, stated, "Bucher Industries’ monitoring systems identified an attack by malware on the IT infrastructure of the division Bucher Municipal."
Kuhn Group’s order intake was a bright spot in a period when the COVID-19 pandemic created production, distribution and sales challenges that caused a dip in revenues relative to 2019.
A strong order book at the beginning of the year was a welcome legacy for Kuhn’s commercial activities last year as 2019 ended with only a modest drop in net sales as a challenging North American market dimmed prospects for 2020 figures.
The €20 million ($22.6 million) facility has gradually been brought into operation over recent months to handle in-flows of raw materials and components for manufacturing operations at the plant.
Fueled in part by its growing North American sales, the Kuhn Group reported that, while its net sales in 2013 grew by 5% vs. the previous year, its profits rose by nearly 25% and profit margins increased by 2.5%.
Managers at its parent company Bucher Industries credited Kuhn Group with achieving ‘outstanding profitability’ when it reported record results for the Swiss group and its agricultural equipment division.
In a first half-year characterized by a worldwide market environment with varying levels of demand, Kuhn Group achieved a marked increase in sales and operating profit.
