“The past financial year once again demonstrated the resilience of STS Group. Despite a challenging market environment, we successfully achieved our objectives and continued to execute our strategic roadmap. We further strengthened our operational performance, continued the successful ramp-up of our plant in the United States and laid additional foundations for the future growth of our company. Although market conditions remain challenging, I am convinced that STS Group is today stronger, more resilient and better positioned for the future than it was just a few years ago,” said Alberto Buniato, CEO of STS Group AG.
The Executive Board also confirmed the outlook for the 2026 financial year, in which Group revenue is expected to be roughly on par with the previous year, the EBITDA margin is expected to improve further in the high single-digit percentage range, and EBITDA is expected to be slightly above the previous year’s level.
The successful Annual General Meeting underscores STS Group's strong shareholder support and its strategic focus on expanding global manufacturing capabilities. The expansion in the United States and the new plant in China position the company to serve key automotive markets and capitalize on growth in electric vehicle components. The reaffirmed outlook indicates confidence in navigating continued market challenges while improving profitability.
