The highest profit margins of DIY players range between 8% and 16%, based on ZF calculations.
It is only Bricostore, the firm managing the business of Britain’s Kingfisher owning Brico Depot stores, that hasn’t published 2020 financial figures, yet.
The biggest profit increases were reported by Arabesque and Damila, two domestic companies held by Cezar Rapotan and Remus-Daniel Nitu, respectively.
Each of the two generated profits around 112% higher in 2020 year-on-year, being, as a matter of fact, the only ones that went beyond the 100% increase threshold.
Artsani and Max, two smaller networks of Prahova and Constanta, also got close to this level.
