Winston Score History

The full picture

Orell Füssli AG is a Swiss company that does two main things: it prints official security documents and sells books. Its security printing division produces Swiss banknotes, passports, identity cards, and other official documents for governments and central banks. The company also runs one of Switzerland's largest bookstore chains, selling books and stationery to everyday consumers.

The company earns money through long-term government contracts for security printing and through retail sales in its bookstore business. It operates primarily in Switzerland, with some international security printing clients, and generates roughly $300 million in market value. Its strongest competitive advantage is its position as the official printer of Swiss currency and identity documents — a role that is very difficult for competitors to take away. The key risk is that digital identity systems and electronic payments could gradually reduce demand for physical banknotes and paper documents over time.
