With its headquarters in Niederbuchsiten, Switzerland, JURA Elektroapparate AG continued to write its successful growth story in 2017. The company sold 366 000 automatic speciality coffee machines last year. This is up 45 000 on the previous year, representing an increase of 14 % in the number of units sold. JURA also recorded similarly strong growth in turnover, rising to reach CHF 480 million in 2017. ‘Our growth was driven by successful sales of two products from the current automatic coffee machine range, globally thriving JURA markets and the outstanding framework conditions created by the global economic recovery and stable exchange rates,’ CEO Emanuel Probst told the assembled media at the press conference at JURA's headquarters. For the current year, all the signs are once again pointing to success. In 2018 JURA is aiming to achieve further growth.
