— Klaus DarboDescribing the 2025 business year.

Klaus Darbo, CEO of A. Darbo AG, described the business year as "very solid." He highlighted that the company's broad market positioning, long-term strategic thinking, and high-quality standards are crucial, especially amid increasing global uncertainties. However, the industry faced difficulties due to significantly poorer fruit harvests in many areas.

Darbo continues to produce exclusively at its four locations in Tyrol and is a significant employer in the region with 440 staff, a number that has remained consistent since the previous year. Roughly half of Darbo's turnover comes from the food retail sector, with significant contributions also from the gastronomy sector and business with dairies and bakeries.

Especially in times of increasing uncertainty, it shows how valuable long-term thinking, high quality standards and broad market positioning are.
