“In a difficult macroeconomic context, the whole group has demonstrated its ability to face challenges with great speed, managing to defend margins and not slow down on strategic projects. We will also face the next few months with the usual passion, being ready to accelerate when the recovery occurs. I am sure that the team, the completion path of the cooking product range and the opportunities of the engine division will support growth in the long term and will continue to create value for shareholders and our stakeholders” . declared Francesco Casoli

Glen Dimplex profit increase
The main business of Glen Dimplex, the Irish-headquartered heating, cooling and appliance giant, nearly quadrupled its profits last year as the company substantially concluded a period of restructuring.
Newly filed accounts for Glen Dimplex European Holdings, which makes up about 60pc of group operations, showed the business made a profit of €42.8m in the year to September 30, 2022, up from just €11m in the previous year.
Glen Dimplex increased turnover by just 4pc in the period to €944m, with growth coming mainly from the group’s energy efficient heating and ventilation products, which are in high demand in the EU because of public policy initiatives.
“Encouragingly, the strong profit growth experienced in the 2021/22 financial year has continued into the early part of the 2022/23 financial year and the outlook remains positive driven by strong underlying demand trends, a supportive policy environment and fiscal supports for end users,” the accounts stated.The company, which is owned by the Louth-based Naughton family, has been undergoing a transformation in recent years to focus more on sustainability and the electrification of energy, increasingly via smart tech.The firm sold the well-known consumer appliance business Morphy Richards to long-term Chinese manufacturing partner Xinbao for €185m. Glen Dimplex retained the rights to distribute the brand in Ireland, New Zealand and Australia for 10 years as part of the deal.The shift has seen Glen Dimplex become very busy in terms of mergers, acquisitions and disposals, with the company an active buyer of heating and ventilation businesses
