The Gauselmann Group has increased its volume of business by approximately 10 per cent to EURO1.26bn for the 2009 financial year.
This increase went hand in hand with the expansion of working positions with the group of companies and employee figures rose from approximately 5,500 to 6,000.
The basis for this positive result is, according to Gauselmann, a continuing innovation and investment process which is particularly underlined by the development of new innovative technolgies in amusement and gaming machines, as well as the systems area and new service concepts in the field of arcades.
Alongside numerous new positions, the Gauselmann Group was able to generate 87 new apprenticeship training positions for the beginning of the apprenticeship period on August 1, 2009 - 57 of these were new, additional positions for both new industry-specific apprenticeships as coin-op specialists and coin-op service technicians. A total of 200 young people are being trained by the Gauselmann Group in 15 different vocations.
Investments in the fundamental business divisions of the group of companies to the tune of EURO221m have also been cited as the key to success in the 2009 financial year.
