The low point marked the start of a global company
His view of these more than 20 years is naturally nuanced. As is so often the case in business life, Tyrolit’s steep upward trend began when the company reached a low point. It was the year 2003 when the sale to Bosch was almost fixed. But Christoph Swarovski put it down, although he was often put under pressure. What followed to this day were always carefully considered acquisitions and acquisitions by competitors scattered across the globe, constant sales increases and earnings improvements, but also strategic decisions, for example to sell off products that were not on the move (products that are used in the stone industry for grinding Tiles or natural stone floors) and concentrate fully on strong marching business (medical technology, etc.).
