Through its subsidiary HMSHost, Autogrill Group (Milan: AGL IM) strengthens its position in the North American airport channel by winning 4 contracts to operate a total of 40 points of sale in George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Houston, United States and Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, Canada. The two operations are expected to generate accumulated sales of around 790 million dollars in the overall contracts’ term. Thanks to these agreements, the Group is doubling its business at Houston Airport and strengthening its position at Montreal Airport, where it’s the main food & beverage operator, thus consolidating its leadership in the North American airport channel, which saw growth of 3.3% in 2014[1].
