Dr. Stefan Rinck, CEO of SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES: "We are working intensively to open up new markets with promising growth potential." Dr. Rinck continues: "We are focusing on markets in which our systems give us a unique position compared to our competitors and create high added value for our customers. We have therefore expanded our product range with coating systems for hydrogen and battery technology applications."

Outlook for the 2024 fiscal year

For 2024, SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES expects an increase in sales compared to 2023. The earnings situation is also expected to improve significantly. Sales in the range of € 120.0 million to € 130.0 million are expected. EBIT is expected to be in the low double-digit million range.

In order for the forecast to be achieved, current projects must be completed without material and time delays and further significant new orders must be realized in the coming months of 2024.

In addition, further significant orders will be concluded for the Life Science and Semiconductor segments.
