This could also apply to 2022, which Jungheinrich CEO Lars Brzoska recently described as "challenging" at the Annual General Meeting. But there is confidence, and the financial situation is sound. Hans-Georg Frey is leaving.
CEO Lars Brzoska believes that the forklift truck and intralogistics systems manufacturer has developed "sustainably in every respect" in the past year. "We closed the financial year with very good results, had a strong start to the current year, and are optimistic about 2023," Brzoska said. Despite the considerable economic and geopolitical uncertainties, Jungheinrich expects the Group to continue its profitable growth in 2023. Shareholders received a dividend of €0.68 per preferred share and €0.66 per ordinary share.
