Komax Group Optimizes Costs and Secures Positive Operating Result in 2025

In 2025, Komax Group navigated a volatile market by implementing structural changes, resulting in a positive operating EBIT of CHF 6.8 million despite revenue declines. These measures will cut the cost base by CHF 25 million from 2026. Geopolitical tensions led to cautious investment, notably affecting the European automotive sector, reducing order intake by 2.1% to CHF 565 million.

Despite a 7.9% dip in revenues to CHF 580.9 million, owing in part to weak automotive markets, Komax advanced in industrial, infrastructure, and transportation sectors. Revenue rose over 10% in Aerospace & Railway segments. Africa saw a 51.8% surge due to production shifts.

Cost reduction efforts included a 20% cut in engineering and production sites. However, foreign currency impacts and restructuring expenses affected profitability. The equity ratio stood solid at 52.4%. The group's transformation, bolstered by the acquisition of Schleuniger and a focus on China, has reinforced its market stance.
