INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to this special publication about Dufry, the world’s leading travel retailer, produced by Moodie Corporate*. In these pages, we examine how the ‘new’ Dufry is shaping up after leading the most vigorous period of consolidation in travel retail history over recent years.
The company has now integrated its most recent acquisitions, Nuance and World Duty Free, generating significant synergies, recovered organic growth (which continues to surge ahead in 2018) and reduced net debt.
Dufry has emerged on the other side of this process ready for a new phase of development. The company continues to eye further opportunities for organic growth, new concessions and even acquisitions, where appropriate. Speaking to senior Dufry management for this title, it’s clear that they believe that the true potential of Dufry is only beginning to be realised – and that the retailer’s best days still lie ahead.
In this publication, commissioned by the travel retailer, we examine what Dufry does today, what it stands for and where it is going next. We assess the kind of partner the company aims to be, and how it sees the future of industry relationships. Importantly, we ask how the company is seen – and wants to be seen – in the eyes of its own staff and by other industry stakeholders.
We examine the key values that shape Dufry’s corporate identity and its status today as a company that is “solid, global, focused and one that delivers for employees, investors, suppliers and airports”.
The rise of Dufry is one of the great corporate stories of modern travel retail. As the next chapter unfolds, The Moodie Davitt Report is proud to have been asked to tell that story.
