The increase in revenue resulted in considerably higher business volumes in all business units . Operations in Europe and China and in high - margin segments improved at a disproportionately large extent . Order intake in the Sheet Metal Processing business unit ( Bystronic ) increased more strongly than anticipated in all regions and most product areas . The acceleration that began in the fourth quarter of 2020 has thus continued in the current year too . In addition to certain pandemic - related catch- up effects , revenue was higher , particularly also in the specific service areas to be developed under Bystronic's " Strategy 2025 " . The recovery was also evident in the Foam Partner business unit ( Chemical Specialties ) across all regions and segments . The Mammut ( Outdoor ) business unit doubled its sales in the digital sales channels year on year . Despite the lockdowns imposed across various regions , the physical sales channels also achieved good growth in the first quarter . The announced transformation of the Group , with the focus on Bystronic , continues to proceed according to plan . On April 1 , the company announced that the sale of the FoamPartner business unit ( Chemical Specialties segment ) had been completed by the end of March . If the positive business growth observed at Bystronic in the first quarter continues at a similar pace in the second quarter , the outlook for the financial year 2021 will probably be raised when the half - year results for 2021 are presented as planned on August 6 .
