As in the previous year, Baumax recorded consistent, dynamic growth in fiscal 2006 in the Czech Republic, its biggest foreign market with 23 stores. The Austrian company thus extended its market leadership further and increased sales by 10 per cent to € 230 mio. This year the store in Banska Bystrica is being enlarged and brought up to Baumax’s international standard. Baumax also plans to open two new stores in Prague in the next few years.
