MAX Automation SE Faces Challenging First Quarter in 2025

In the first quarter of 2025, MAX Automation SE reported a significant decline in sales and order intake due to project postponements and economic uncertainties. The company's sales from continuing operations decreased to EUR 69.5 million from EUR 90.6 million the previous year, while order intake fell to EUR 77.0 million, down from EUR 89.7 million in 2024.

Despite these challenges, the company maintained a slightly positive operating result (EBITDA) of EUR 0.1 million. The order backlog increased by 4.6% to EUR 161.3 million, indicating potential recovery. Vecoplan Group and NSM + Jücker segments showed improvement, offering cautious optimism for a future upturn.

MAX Automation SE confirmed its 2025 forecast of EUR 340-400 million in sales and an EBITDA of EUR 21-28 million, contingent on stabilized economic conditions and resolution of tariff disputes.
