- Kilchberg, July 21, 2020 – Lindt & Sprüngli had a strong start to the business year. Up to the beginning of March 2020, the company achieved a solid increase in both sales and profit. However, the rapidly introduced global measures in an attempt to contain the pandemic during the important Easter business have inevitably affected the half-year results. The immediately taken comprehensive measures in all areas of the company allowed the Group to preserve business continuity and to protect the health of our employees, consumers and all business partners. Despite the challenging environment, Lindt & Sprüngli continued to gain market share in all strategically important markets. Lindt & Sprüngli is confident about the future thanks to its solid financial base, strong business model and high liquidity.
