We see our achievements as a driving force for value creation, innovation and sustainable growth.

They will further guide us on our path to enabling great results - for employees, customers, business partners, shareholders and the society. 2020, an unprecedented year During this challenging Covid year, B.I.G. proved to be extremely resilient. Thanks to our first-class employees and our remarkable agility, we managed to consolidate the gradual top-line growth we achieved in recent years.
