About Bell Food Group AG

Bell Food Group AG is a Swiss-listed food company quoted on the SIX Swiss Exchange (SMI/SPI) in Switzerland, and one of Europe’s leading producers of meat and convenience foods. The company traces its roots back to 1869, when Samuel Bell opened a butcher’s shop in Basel. From that local origin, Bell has evolved into an international food group while retaining a strong Swiss identity, a long-standing brand heritage, and its headquarters in Basel, Switzerland. ([bellfoodgroup.com](https://www.bellfoodgroup.com/en/bell-food-group/?utm_source=openai)) Its business model is built around a broad portfolio spanning meat, poultry, charcuterie, seafood, and convenience products. The convenience range includes salads, sandwiches, ready meals, pasta, soups, and condiments. This mix gives Bell exposure to both traditional protein categories and higher-growth prepared-food segments, with customers across retail, food service, and food processing. In Switzerland, Bell says it is the market leader or holds leading positions in most product groups, which underpins its domestic franchise and brand strength. ([bellfoodgroup.com](https://www.bellfoodgroup.com/en/bell-food-group/?utm_source=openai)) Geographically, Bell Food Group is not a purely domestic Swiss business. In 2024 it operated across 13 countries and 69 locations, with more than 13,000 full-time equivalents. The group has production and processing capacity in Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and other European markets, including specialized poultry and turkey operations. This footprint supports customer proximity, supply-chain flexibility, and a broader market reach than many Swiss food peers. ([bellfoodgroup.com](https://www.bellfoodgroup.com/en/bell-food-group/?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, Bell is positioned as a scale player in a fragmented but demanding industry, where procurement, efficiency, brand trust, and chilled logistics matter. The company emphasizes market-share gains and strong positions in its core categories. Financially, 2024 was solid: net revenue reached CHF 4.7283 billion, EBITDA CHF 350.7 million, EBIT CHF 166.9 million, and annual result CHF 123.7 million. These figures suggest a resilient operating profile in an inflation-sensitive consumer environment. ([bellfoodgroup.com](https://www.bellfoodgroup.com/en/investors/annual-report?utm_source=openai)) Recent corporate developments include a leadership transition: Marco Tschanz became CEO on 1 June 2024, succeeding Lorenz Wyss, with management presenting the change as a continuation of the group’s growth strategy. Bell also reported continued organic growth in 2024 and further market-share gains. For investors, Bell Food Group offers a defensive Swiss food exposure, an established industrial base, and a diversified European operating platform listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (SMI/SPI) in Switzerland.
