For three consecutive semesters, this channel has posted double-digit growth. “Between April and September, the group indeed increased its e-commerce turnover by 44%, against a little more than 21% in the same period last year. “For Arthur Jaunich, director of sales and marketing on the board of directors,” customers appreciated the reliability and user-friendliness of our electronic sales channels, during lockdowns. Word of mouth works, no other channel wins more new customers. The increase in the number of new customers is 11%, e-commerce turnover has doubled compared to the previous year and the share of e-commerce in total sales has increased to 15.2% ”.
