The Erwin Hymer Group achieved a new record turnover of €2.7 billion ($3.12 billion) in the 2020/21 fiscal year, an improvement of 23 percent upon its previous year’s result. Vehicle deliveries also reached a new record of 65,000 units. The company sees the current development as evidence of a long-term change in travel behavior. With its sustainability strategy, it intends to secure further success in the future.
“Our success is based on enabling people around the world to enjoy unique leisure and mobility experiences,” said Martin Brandt, CEO of the Erwin Hymer Group (EHG) at the company’s annual press conference. “As our figures show, we succeeded particularly well during the pandemic. Caravanning has become mainstream in society. Now it’s a matter of ensuring the trend continues toward decelerated and gentle tourism in the long term. With our sustainability strategy, we’re treading the path to a successful future, the prerequisite for which is an intact and healthy environment.”
