More than one billion euros expected

Two franchise systems, Unser Lagerhaus in Austria and Tutto Giardino in Italy, expect their sales in the DIY and garden sectors plus building materials to amount to more than one billion euros for 2012. The conclusion drawn from this during the 5th International Order Fair in Wels is that the system is once again achieving growth well above the trade average. The two franchising systems account for around 700 DIY and garden stores in Austria and Italy, which are managed by the Austrian AFS support centre and so belong to the Raiffeisen Group (Baywa).
