ENRICO VITA, CEO
“We have begun 2023 with strong growth in the main economic indicators compared to the first quarter of 2022, despite a very challenging comparison base and a market which is still below historic levels, albeit showing recovery compared to the last three quarters. We gained market share in all core markets and accelerated the pace of our bolt-on M&A, with the acquisition of around 100 points of sale in North America, Europe and China since the beginning of the year through today.
In light of what has been accomplished up until now, despite the well-known uncertainties related to the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, all the conditions exist for 2023 to be another year of significant growth and further strengthening of Amplifon’s global leadership.”
