Dear customers, dear partners,
With the spring edition of moment, we once again find ourselves entering a challenging year. Within a matter of weeks, the geopolitical shock caused by the war in Iran has put energy prices, transport costs and commodity markets under considerable pressure. Oil, gas, metals and logistics have reacted immediately – with noticeable effects on industry, the construction sector and investment decisions.
Against this backdrop, we are clearly focusing on delivery reliability, cost and margin stability, and application reliability. This includes the targeted strengthening of our procurement in Europe, closer cooperation with partners in the chemical and mechanical engineering industries, the qualification of alternative raw materials and suppliers, and a differentiated approach to price pressure. Instead of across-the-board price adjustments, we are focusing on measures to reduce costs, optimise processes and increase efficiency. At the same time, we are continuing to expand our range of services and software.
This issue provides you with a summary of our Annual Report for the year 2025. We were able to successfully conclude the financial year in a difficult political and economic environment. Despite ongoing political crises, geo-economic upheavals originating in the United States, and the often slow pace of adaptation of our German and European institutions, we are entering the new financial year with confidence. We are planning moderate revenue growth and will significantly increase our investments compared to the reporting year, without thereby jeopardising our strong equity position.
Transformation is no longer an abstract goal, but a daily operational task. This also applies to our approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI). In our cover story, we explored how AI can support the innovation process, for example in the field of Research & Development.
With recarb® and our verified Product Carbon Footprint approach, we make CO₂ impacts transparent and comparable. Particularly in times of rising energy and material costs, this transparency is becoming a decisive factor – for our customers as well as for ourselves.
Another interesting topic is the TOBI® Drive System, which guarantees greater process reliability, less wear and tear, and improved handling. Instead of treating the screw and tool as separate entities, TOBI® forms a coordinated system comprising the drive and the bit.
Following the success at the Dach+Holz trade fair, our Construction Market Unit is now focusing on new fastening solutions for timber construction.
I look forward to engaging with you and hope you find this issue an inspiring read.
Warm regards,
