Villeroy & Boch Sees Revenue Surge with Ideal Standard Integration

In the first quarter of 2025, Villeroy & Boch achieved a 33.2% increase in revenue, totaling €369.1 million, largely due to the acquisition of Ideal Standard. The EMEA region, especially in fittings, significantly contributed to this growth. Despite the high acquisition costs, operational EBIT rose by 4.3%, reaching €24.1 million. CEO Gabi Schupp highlights the strategic benefits of the acquisition, noting the enhanced international footprint and reduced market dependency.

The Bathroom & Wellness Division reported sales of €295.5 million, marking a 44.8% rise, with particular growth in fittings and sanitary ware. Meanwhile, the Dining & Lifestyle Division experienced a modest increase to €72.9 million, impacted by last year’s special income.

Investments of €6.5 million were directed towards modernizing production in several countries. With a significant rise in order intake, the group maintains optimism for its 2025 outlook.
