Pistor increases turnover by 3.7 per cent in 2025
Rothenburg - Pistor AG’s revenue climbed by 3.7 per cent to 857.8 million Swiss francs in the 2025 financial year. The trading and service company from Rothenburg in the Swiss canton of Lucerne performed particularly well in the gastronomy segment, with sales here rising by 5.8 per cent.
Pistor, which supplies the bakery, gastronomy, and care industries, increased its total revenue by 3.7 per cent to 857.8 million Swiss francs in the 2025 financial year. According to a statement, the gastronomy segment was a significant driver, generating a 5.8 per cent increase compared to the previous year and accounting for 54 per cent of total revenue. The bakery and confectionery segment also grew by 1.3 per cent.
However, the Rothenburg-based company’s net profit is expected to decline slightly to 26.2 million Swiss francs in 2025 (2024: 26.8 million Swiss francs). The company attributes this marginal fall in earnings to ongoing investments in its logistics and digital infrastructure. Among others, Pistor opened a distribution center in Sennwald in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen in 2025 to supply customers in eastern Switzerland more efficiently, quickly, and sustainably.
Additionally, it modernized a small parts warehouse at the Rothenburg headquarters, widely installed solar panels, added seven new electric forklifts to the fleet, and implemented several software projects. The 2025 financial year also saw the B2B online marketplace Mercanto gain significant momentum: while in 2024, 47,000 items from a wide variety of food and non-food suppliers were available, this number has now risen to nearly 80,000.
«Pistor's success is based on a highly efficient supply chain, our reliability, and digital innovation,» CEO Patrick Lobsiger is quoted as saying. «We reinvest our profits into expanding our customer benefits, which is exactly what makes Pistor successful in the long term.»
