Already in 2019, Directive (EU) 2019/882 on accessibility requirements for products and services, better known as the "European Accessibility Act (EAA)", has been adopted. While the directive has different names in different EU member states, the challenges are the same for all states: Many questions have arisen with it. Because how exactly accessibility is to be implemented is not described in the regulation. The manufacturers of self-service machines are obliged to deal with the EAA regulation and to develop products that meet the requirements.
The KEBA Group, headquartered in Linz, increased its sales from 537.7 million € to 553.5 million € in the past business year (April 2022 - March 2023). This corresponds to a sales growth of approximately 16 million € or 3% . Looking at the last five years, the average annual growth is around 17% (CAGR).
Last December, on just one day, more than half a million parcels were handed over worldwide using KePol lockers. This is a new record and roughly double the peak value from the previous year. In general, similarly high values were recorded on most days before Christmas 2020.
