Last update: 03/08/2013
The market in which the Group operates in is characterised by a
few large global players managing a number of extremely strong
brands and a large number of niche players operating successfully
in more restricted product and/or or geographical ranges; the trend
towards increasing concentration is a defining feature in the
industry and has been going on for the last 17 years.
