Leifheit AG Reports First Half of 2026 Figures with Focus on Competitiveness

Leifheit AG announced its financial results for the first half of 2026, revealing a turnover of EUR 116.3 million, a 5.8% decline from the previous year. While the gross margin improved to 46.2%, a challenging market environment led to an EBIT of EUR -2.7 million.

Despite declining figures, innovations in product lines and marketing are set to boost the future turnover.

The program foresees significant operational restructuring and cost-saving measures.
