DO NOT MISS THE STATEMENTS OF THE CEO AND FOUNDER PAUL GAUSELMANN

The Gauselmann Group achieves an increase in sales in 2019 and is established as a great generator of long-term employment

 
Before the lockdown led to an economic slowdown in Germany, the Gauselmann Group was clearly on the road to success. Espelkamp's family business closed fiscal 2019 with a 6.7 percent sales increase despite tough economic and political conditions.

All the group companies achieved a combined turnover of 3,420 million euros. Excluding internal sales, after 2018, at 2.41 billion euros, sales reached 2.58 billion in 2019. "A great result, which is mainly due to the enthusiasm and motivation of the employees, and I would like to thank them for that, "explains company founder and CEO Paul Gauselmann.

The positive evolution before the Coronavirus crisis was accompanied by an increase of 451 jobs to reach a total of 13,846 employees.

In 2019, a reality emerged that had already been revealed in previous years: international business was becoming increasingly important for the Gauselmann Group.

Game creators generated more than 60 percent of sales outside of their home country. “Foreign sales increased continuously before the coronavirus stage. This has reduced our dependence on the main market in Germany, where the legal framework has unfortunately deteriorated in recent years,” explains Paul Gauselmann.

New restrictions constantly motivate a massive migration of customers to operators, even mostly illegal, for example on the Internet, where the protection of young people and players no longer applies. This means that we are often no longer able to fulfill the legally formulated mandate to guide the natural instinct of the population to play in an orderly manner.

Before the outbreak of the pandemic, the capital base increased by 10.7%, that is: 108 million euros, up to 1,116 million euros, and therefore at a share capital ratio of 66.4%.

The high share capital ratio was a visible sign of the sustainable corporate strategy, which is based on continuous investment and long-term business success. “This was particularly beneficial for us during the lockdown phase. This allowed us, despite the closure throughout Europe of our 800 gaming halls, the hundreds of sports betting shops and the ten German casinos and cruise ship casinos, to focus on the total preservation of the almost 14,000 jobs in the company”, emphasizes Paul Gauselmann.

Continuing with the good feelings, the CEO of the multinational paid tribute to 18 employees last August for their more than 25 years of loyalty. “This strong identification with the company makes me a little proud. It was always important to me that employees feel comfortable, and I am pleased that this is apparently the case”, said the company's patriarch.

Officials confirm it time and again: the subsidiary MERKUR Casino is regularly recognized as a “Top National Employer” by one of the most important news magazines in Germany. The group of companies also receives top marks for high-quality training and various career opportunities.
