The Würth Group has reported a record sales level for the 2025 fiscal year.
The company said its sales grew to approximately €20.7 billion last year, representing a 2.3% year-on-year increase. Adjusted for currencies, sales grew by 3.2%. The operating result remained at last year’s level of €940 million before tax.
In Germany, the Würth Group generated sales of around €8 billion, a 0.8% increase. Sales outside the German market grew by 3.3%, reaching €12.7 billion.
Regarding the company’s core business activities, the Auto division reported positive development, while the Construction division returned to growth with a 6.4% increase following a decline in the previous year.
Among the Group’s allied companies, the electrical wholesale, electronics and chemicals units performed “particularly well”, all growing at rates higher than the overall Würth Group.
“The Würth Group looks back on a challenging fiscal year, characterised by geopolitical uncertainties and a weak economy. Against this backdrop, we are very satisfied with this result,” said Robert Friedmann, Chairman of the Central Management Board of the Würth Group. “However, we are still seeing limited economic momentum in industrial production, and we feel the repercussions of this. Even so, we are focusing on the future and striving to maintain the momentum from 2025. With this strong push, Würth will continue to gain market share in 2026.”
Currently, the Würth Group has 86,415 employees worldwide, down from 88,393 in 2024, with 44,000 employees working in sales. In Germany, the Group has 26,672 employees on its payroll.
