Bathtubs continued to make up the bulk of the turnover, with sales increasing by almost 70 percent in the three years mentioned. Business with boilers developed even better, even though their share of total sales was considerably lower at 7.6 million. Their sales quadrupled compared to 1970. The sales of ACOWELL however were declining.

The positive development was due in no small part to the Social Democrats, previously so criticised by Severin Ahlmann: in the first years of the Brandt government, the number of completed flats in the Federal Republic rose from less than 500,000 in 1970, to more than 700,000 in 1973 - never before or since has a higher figure been reached. The housing boom had a direct impact on the order books at ACO Andernach. Bathtubs, boilers and shower enclosures were in big demand.
