The Corona crisis demanded a great challenge of our employees, but we mastered this challenge together as a team and with excellent performance." Andreas Kroiss, CEO of Einhell Germany AG.
The decisive factor for the positive development was the strong demand of DIY products for home and garden.

Sharply rising demand and recently published test result of Stiftung Warenest, where we won the battery test, shows that this is the right way to go. The Einhell battery delights with its stability, handling and security and prevailed over well-known competitors. We are very proud of this result and will further develop the battery technology consequently." Andreas Kroiss, CEO of Einhell Germany AG
