Solid result in all business categories – Mumm celebrates its centennial
Rotkäppchen-Mumm reports a solid result for calendar year 2021. Total turnover was EUR 1.2 billion (previous year: EUR 1.2 billion). The leader in the German sparkling wine, branded wine and spirits market was able to confirm its pole position despite the challenges posed by the second year of the pandemic.
‘As a strong family-run company, we have once again proven that even in the second year of the pandemic, we’ve got bottle,’ quips Rotkäppchen-Mumm CEO Christof Queisser to summarise the annual result of the successful market leader in sparkling wine. ‘The year 2021 was defined by a volatile market situation. Our strong brands and clear focus on the three business categories of sparkling wine and similar, wine and spirits are key to our success,’ continues Queisser.
In classifying the sales result of EUR 1.2 billion for 2021, Christof Queisser points out that the turnover is above the pre-pandemic figure of EUR 1.1 billion recorded in 2019. Two key trends also intensified in 2021: OOH consumption returned to some extent and the gastronomy sector was able to welcome guests back again, at least for limited periods of time. Simultaneously, more and more people are discovering higher-priced gourmet products. ‘We are witnessing strong growth for high-quality brands. Last year, our premium brand Geldermann grew by over 30%. Today, many people have new demands. They consume less and more consciously,’ states Queisser.
Christof Queisser is looking ahead to 2022 with confidence – after all, Mumm, which continues to be one of the most successful German sparkling wine brands today, is celebrating its 100th anniversary. ‘Especially during challenging times, our strong brands offer consumers reliability and security. Durability and stability are inherent to the Rotkäppchen-Mumm DNA.’ However, the outlook also acknowledges that both the industry and consumers will be forced to grapple with rising commodity and energy prices.
