Guillemot Group’s annual revenue in 2021 increased by 47% and amounted to €176.8 million with a strong growth of 65% in the fourth quarter.
Group sales growth was balanced across all regions, with an increase of 41% in North America, +53% in the European Union and the United Kingdom and +38% in the rest of the world.
The Group’s commercial performance is due to various factors in a complex economic, health and logistical context.

The Group has deployed all its energy to:
– Maintain a good level of production throughout the year despite the stresses on the components and ensure dynamic logistics flows.
– Maximize its sales in its classic ranges and successfully launch and install its main Thrustmaster and Hercules novelties (particularly the T248 steering wheel, the TCA Yoke Pack Boeing Edition and the DJControl Mix). This allowed for a significant increase in sales to consumers at the end of the year.
– Deliver in volume to its main clients directly, in particular to the main global e-retailers, and thus better anticipate consumer demand,
-React from the summer to the increase in logistics costs by moderately readjusting their prices without penalizing their competitiveness.
