Sales fall for Rieter, but it sees ‘initial signs’ of recovery
Textile machinery developer Rieter has said it ended 2023 with lower sales revenues than the year before.
The Swiss group will formally present its full-year results for 2023 on March 13, but it said unaudited figures suggested revenues of just over 1.4 billion Swiss francs (CHF). This would represent a fall of 6% year on year.
It said the market remains challenging owing to economic and geopolitical conditions, as well as continuing weak demand. But it said there were “initial signs of a market recovery” in 2024.
