In 2021, Migros Industrie generated sales of CHF 5.748 billion (–3.8%) in a challenging market environment. The pandemic-related decline in Switzerland and the effects of the portfolio adjustments were largely cushioned by growth abroad.
With its industrial companies, Migros is one of the biggest producers of own-brand products. At the same time, it also supplies many third-party customers in Switzerland and abroad with its products. In 2021, domestic sales and food services in particular were hit hard by the pandemic. However, this was largely offset by growth in sales to customers abroad.
Collaboration within the Migros Group was further enhanced with the project "Winning together". Representatives of the Cooperatives, the Federation of Migros Cooperatives and Migros Industrie committed to end-to-end optimisation across the board with the aim of improving Migros’ market position over the long term. Migros Industrie is supporting this drive with the introduction of a cost-plus pricing model.
Despite the challenging conditions caused by the pandemic, Migros Industrie was able to continue fulfilling its mission thanks to the extraordinary dedication of its employees.
Active portfolio adjustment in Switzerland
In the Swiss market (retailing and bulk consumer business), Migros Industrie separated from the catering wholesaler Saviva in the previous year. In 2021, this led to a year-on-year decrease in domestic sales of CHF 310 million (–6.1%) across all channels in Switzerland. Despite the challenging conditions caused by the pandemic, Migros Industrie was able to continue fulfilling its mission thanks to the extraordinary dedication of its employees.
International market position maintained
The international business grew by an encouraging CHF 83 million (+9.4%) in the reporting year. This was driven mainly by the export business of Delica and Mifroma, and by the growth of the Mibelle Group’s foreign subsidiaries in Korea (Dr. G) and France (Ondal).
was invested by Migros Industrie in Switzerland as a centre of industry (in CHF).
Investment in Switzerland as a centre of industry
In 2021, Migros Industrie invested about CHF 206 million in Switzerland as a centre of industry. As in previous years, the focus was on automating and digitalising processes.
Migros Industrie employed an average of 13’119 people in 2021. Due to portfolio adjustments (Saviva) in 2020, the number of employees in the reporting year was down by 831 on the previous year. As a committed trainer, Migros Industrie trained a total of 527 apprentices in more than 30 different occupations.
