After experiencing growth of over 20% in 2021, in 2022 the turnover of JURA Elektroapparate AG, based in Niederbuchsiten (SO), fell slightly by 2.2% to CHF 688.7 million. However, with sales of 511 500 units, JURA sold over half a million coffee machines in one year for the second year running. 

During the pandemic the company benefited from a strong rise in demand for household coffee machines, but this increase abated during the course of 2022. As a result, the number of units in the entry-level and mid-level segments fell slightly. By contrast, the premium and professional segments showed an increase. “Following the effects of the pandemic, we are now moving back toward our planned growth trajectory,” said CEO Emanuel Probst. “For JURA, 2022 was a year of innovation. In June we inaugurated the JURA Campus. This new innovation, technology and quality centre will enable us to bring new products to the market even faster and with even higher quality.” Representing an investment of CHF 29 million, the new facility signals the company’s strong commitment to Switzerland as an innovation hub and provides an attractive working environment for approximately 50 employees in R&D.
